The homophobic protests that drew criticism at a March 9 Brevard Public School Board meeting arrived Thursday evening at the Satellite Beach home of board member Jennifer Jenkins.
Jenkins and her kindergarten-age daughter and husband were out of town when the protesters arrived, but learned of the display from neighbors and city officials.
The protesters held signs with slogans such as “two genders & one crazy-evil school board” and “LGBTQ agenda is ungodly,” along with some decrying mask mandates. Her neighbors told her the protesters approached them and called them “pedophile lovers.
Jenkins’ said the protesters told her father-in-law that they would be outside her home every night.
