Pennsylvania high school students responded to a Gay-Straight Alliance “Day of Silence” anti-bullying event with a campaign of their own – an “Anti-Gay Day” protest marked most noticeably by the wearing of flannel shirts.

Participants also reportedly walked around school sticking Bible verses on lockers used by LGBT supporters.

“We came in to school … and found a lot of people wearing flannel and we couldn’t figure out why,” said Zoe Johnson, a bisexual student at McGuffey High School in Claysville, to BuzzFeed News. “People started getting pushed and notes were left on people’s lockers.”

The “Anti-Gay Day” came one day after the “Day of Silence,” a school event to highlight the need for anti-bullying programs.

As part of that program – a takeoff of the national Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network’s own “Day of Silence” events – Johnson said participating students wore black, painted rainbows on their faces and kept quiet for the majority of the day.

“There was about 30 to 50 students,” she said. “It was a very nice feeling to see that many people participating.”

About 50 took place in the “Anti-Gay Day” event the following day, BuzzFeed reported. And shortly after, LGBT supporters reported they were being bullied.

Superintendent Erica Kolat said in a statement to BuzzFeed: “Administration and school police have been investigating all allegations and continue to do so. … Our investigation is ongoing.”
