BYU Student On TikTok Sews Pride Flag In Graduation Gown

In Jillian’s experience, she told BuzzFeed, “I didn’t realize I was bisexual when I chose to attend BYU, so I was unaware of the rules when it came to that because it didn’t affect me,” she said. “I realized halfway through, when I was stuck.”

When speaking of her life before BYU and how it played into her decision to attend the school, Jillian said: “I was an extremely active LDS member [and] because we pay tithing, members get a cheaper tuition rate.”

And as for a third contributing factor toward her attendance, she said, “[BYU] has one of the best psychology programs in the state, and I was going into psychology.”
