Protesters Against Day of Silence

According to this article, Mount Si High School who participated in the Day of Silence had anti-gay protesters in front of their school who were called to be "prayer warriors." The Day of Silence, has been held at high schools and colleges around the country for the past 13 years and it symbolizes the silence that the LGBT community has to go through. The controversy at Mount Si began with the school's invitation to Hutcherson to speak at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day assembly. However, he also talked of his prominence as an activist against gay rights. Randy Taylor, the principal of Mount Si High School, said Hutcherson's planned protest is continuation of that controversy. As said by a GSA advisor, "It's enough of a tragedy that there are 1,000 grown-ups protesting kids who are asking for acceptance. We don't need to say a thing."
