Tensions flare at Glendale school board meeting over LGBTQ+ education and student pronouns.
Three people were arrested at protests outside a Glendale Unified School District board meeting, where pro- and anti-LGBTQ+ demonstrators faced off over how schools teach gender and sexuality. The meeting was about an hour into public comments on an agenda item calling for recognition of June as Pride Month, which board members unanimously approved late in the evening. The situation temporarily disrupted the meeting, which was held amid an atmosphere of simmering hostility around LGBTQ+ rights that boiled over last week when protesters violently clashed at a North Hollywood elementary school over a Pride-themed assembly.
