Pink News is reporting that six people were arrested on the Florida University campus:
Members of a gay rights "Equality Ride" protest were arrested yesterday as they attempted to enter a university campus chapel.Six members of LGBT equality group Soulforce Q, were arrested on trespassing charges at Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBAU). PBAU does not exclude gay students from its 3,200 population, but does ban "homosexual behaviour" amongst its members.

What is not reported by this story is the fact that the university arranged for a meeting between Equality Riders and students, staff and parents. Equality Riders indicated that the meeting was too restrictive, and opted to create a public display by knowingly trespassing where university officials asked them not to go. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/palmbeach/sfl-1013-equality-ride,0,7288601.story
It shouldn't be strange that they were not allowed in chapel. Really, if you were having a service to honor GLBT leaders, would you knowingly allow in a group whose sole purpose for being there is to disagree with what you believe?
