A St. John’s school is facing backlash for holding an event celebrating LGBTQ Pride — but the school is getting support from community advocates.
Last week, St. Matthew’s School held an event celebrating the LGBTQ community. The event included a dance party, drag performers and — of course — many rainbows.
But the school is facing online vitriol after several far-right social media accounts — including some with millions of followers — shared photos and videos of the event.
