A BYU student defaces messages of support and empathy for the LGBTQ community in a video currently making its way around social media. The incident apparently took place at the south entrance to Brigham Young University. At the end of the short clip, he throws in for good measure “faggots go to hell.”

This happened just a short time after Jeffrey Holland, an Elder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, addressed faculty and staff at BYU criticizing folks for not strenuously defending the church’s position on same-sex marriage. Holland was also still upset about Matthew Easton who came out as gay during his valedictorian speech at BYU in 2019. Several people have identified the sad young man as Conner Ray Murray, who is reportedly attending BYU. His Facebook and LinkedIn pages have already been blocked. BYU responded on Twitter saying they are looking into the matter.
Don’t hate yourself, Connor. Peace and love. pic.twitter.com/XRCnarezMH

His inner gay is bothering him. It’s dying to get out, and he keeps shoving it back down through these sorts of vile acts.

. It’s not like he was walking by with a gallon of water and came upon the chalk. . It took effort for him to do what he did.

Young Connor is still a few years away from coming out of the closet.
First, he’ll marry a good Mormon girl in the temple and have 4 kids. All throughout the marriage, he will have affairs with men. In his 40s or 50s, he will finally admit he’s gay. It’s the Mormon way. — TruthAZ 🌊🌊🌊🌮🍛🕺🏻☕️🏈📺🏝📡☮️🚭🇺🇸🇹🇭🇯🇵 (@truthismyname12) August 27, 2021
The Honor Code explicitly states that each member of the BYU community has the obligation to respect others. The incident seen in a video circulating on social media is now under review. 2/4

We are striving to create a community of belonging composed of students, faculty and staff whose hearts are knit together in love. Every student and individual on our campus deserves to feel that belonging. 4/4
