In this April 13, 2018, photo, Marquette University senior Kaitlin Majeski poses for a photo in Glendale, Wis. Majeski said it's difficult to understand opposition of a national organization of young Catholics to her school's upcoming dance meant to celebrate the LGBT community. Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) Student Action gathered more than 18,500 online petition signatures urging Marquette to cancel the event. The group's director, John Ritchie, says it undermines Catholic moral values. The university, in a statement, says it strives to foster of culture of inclusion and supports the &quot;LGBT community in ways that are both pastoral and educational.&quot; She said if Catholics are preaching the idea of caring for the whole person, Marquette's stand &quot;behind Pride Prom is living up to the idea.&quot; (AP Photo/Carrie Antlfinger)
