Seven University of Utah students were charged with misdemeanors Monday after having “stormed” a Nov. 1 event on campus that was critical of the transgender community, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
The students were members of MECHA, a self-identified socialist group largely led by and for Black, Indigenous, queer and trans individuals. The event the students interrupted was a screening of a documentary about transgender individuals who later resumed identifying with the gender they were assigned at birth. It was held by Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative student organization.
