Anti-Gay Day Students Made Lynch List Hung Noose TakePart
"A group of students at suburban Pittsburgh McGuffey High School have made national headlines for organizing an "Anti-Gay Day." The event happened last Thursday in response to other students observed a Day of Silence for dead lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The students who organized the Anti-Gay Day wore matching flannel shirts, wrote "anti-gay" on their hands, and reportedly hung homophobic posters on LGBT students' lockers. Even more disturbing: they passed out a "lynch list" of students who participated in the Day of Silence, and tied a noose to a flag in a classroom, according to BuzzFeed.
One student recalled the scene to local reporters. "Yesterday, there was pushing, posters hung on homosexual students' lockers," Zoe Johnson, a bisexual student at McGuffey, told news reporters on Friday. "Teachers were having to run out and take them down." Johnson also said the so-called "anti-gay" students uploaded Bible verses to social media and tagged their LGBT classmates."
