Campus Pride has released its list of the worst places for LGBTQ+ youth—and several Illinois colleges and universities are on it. According to a press release, "the Worst List identifies the 'absolute worst, most unsafe campuses for LGBTQ youth' in the United States. The colleges and universities listed have chosen to openly discriminate against LGBTQ youth and/or have requested Title IX exemptions to perpetuate the harms of religion-based bigotry." To be the "absolute worst" campus, a school has: 1) received and/or applied for a Title IX exemption to discriminate against LGBTQ+ youth and/or 2) demonstrated past history and track record of anti-LGBTQ+ actions, programs and practices.
