Students at a Pennsylvania high school held an “Anti-Gay Day” protest on Thursday, wearing coordinated flannel shirts, writing “anti-gay” on their hands, and sticking Bible verses on LGBT students’ lockers.
“We came in to school on Thursday and found a lot of people wearing flannel and we couldn’t figure out why,” Zoe Johnson, a 16-year-old bisexual student at McGuffey High School in Claysville, told BuzzFeed News. “People started getting pushed and notes were left on people’s lockers.”
The anti-gay protest occurred a day after students with the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) held a “Day of Silence,” an event aimed at drawing attention to anti-gay bullying.

“I got called a dyke, a fakkit,” Johnson said. “They were calling us every horrible name you can
think of.”
“This is a troubling turn of events,” wrote Sue Kerr, editor-in-chief of Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents, in a blog post. “These kids didn’t just spontaneously pull a homophobic move. They have a plan. They have coordinated outfits.”

Johnson and her fellow students spoke on Thursday night at a school board meeting to raise the anti-gay bullying issue with administrators. “We had a really positive reaction,” she said. “Both the superintendent and assistant superintendent shook my hand. It was very positive. You could tell whose side they were truly on.”

didnt think it would start to take this long
