1/ Content warning - homophobic slur & disturbing related behavior.

The video below circulated quickly online. This happened at BYU.

Copy posted here (fair use) for redundancy.

2/ BYU put out a statement condemning the behavior and citing the honor code (and how the behavior violates it.

3/ The student was quickly identified by many other aware individuals on multiple social media platforms as Conner Ray Murray of West Plains, MO (currently of Utah)

Conner's Facebook account quickly disappeared.

4/ Conner Ray Murray, the anti-LGBTQIA homophobe, has a TikTok account at ConnerMurray86 with the same username.

Before and after (today) - Locked.

5/ LinkedIn account is still active. <linkedin.com/in/conner-murr…> Archive (Google): <archive.ph/IFjok>

Facebook photo for comparison of Conner Ray Murray of West Plains, MO.

6/ Homophobe Conner Ray Murray of West Plains, MO apparently served a mission in Albania & Kosovo. His dad was so proud of him getting his high school equivalency, this writer cannot tell how much contempt there is mixed with real feelings.

7/ An OpenCorporates entry show that Conner Ray Murray of West Plains, MO is listed as a Director in what appears to be some sort of family business "FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT OF WEST PLAINS, INC.", in Missouri.

8/ Apparently Conner Ray Murray of West Plains, MO is also a fan of DezNat (per deleted Facebook account); infamous for espousing antisemitism, racism, misogyny & anti-LGBTQIA hate.

We noticed the top post, as it was RT'd by @ExposeDezNat (wonder if he has #DezNat connects?)

9/ It's going to be mighty interesting to see @BYU investigate something since Conner spent the bulk of today deleting or locking whatever he could of his social media presence.

Hopefully they move on and honor their statement regarding their honor code quickly.

10/ This thread is in place to document Conner Ray Murray of West Plains, MO's bigotry and harm, targeted at the LGBTQIA population at @BYU. It has broader impacts on the local community in Utah (FYI @utah161) and around the globe for members of the @Ch_JesusChrist

Reject hate.

Closing thoughts: @BYU's action may provide insight into how much progress they've made as an institution; specifically holding white BYU students to the same honor code standards & disciplinary action than they did a decade ago.
