A friendly message created by a gay-straight alliance has angered anti-LGBTQ+ activists, who are now calling for Massachusetts educators to be fired.

A Facebook message by conservative activist Lynne Turner takes issue with a bulletin board display at Dartmouth High School that reads "Have a Gay Summer" and is posted on rainbow-colored construction paper.

"This is NOT ok. It needs to be removed and an apology needs to be made to the children and parents of Dartmouth kids," Turner posted. "Schools are supposed to educate and prepare students for successful careers, as well as give them skills for life. DHS, pushing gay ideology on our youth is NOT your place!!!"

The display also includes a pair of rainbow flags and images of historic LGBTQ leaders, including Harvey Milk and Marsha P. Johnson.

Turner said she contacted the school administration and superintendent's office, and eventually spoke with principal Ryan O'Shea, who said the display was created by students in the Gay-Straight Alliance on campus. Turner said she considered the message "grooming."

"This message is NOT inclusive, it is suggesting their gay orientation for everyone, or for "gay" acts to occur over summer," Turner posted.

I wonder if Turner sings any Christmas carols in the winter. Maybe we should ban Christmas carols that suggest we act gay.

"Deck the Halls" (Lyric: "Don we now our gay apparel" – meaning festive/joyous clothing).

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (Lyric: "Make the Yuletide gay").
