The Austin, Texas, school district will donate $10,000 of the money they have received from Celebration Church to the Austin Pride Parade and other LGBT districtwide activities.
A church, known for their anti-LGBTQ practices, has regularly rented out an Austin, Texas, school district's performing arts center for their weekly services. Recently, the district decided to use money they have received from Celebration Church and donate it to the Austin Pride Parade.
LGBT rights activists have regularly protested the church's Sunday services since they started to rent the performing arts center back in August. Many say that the school district should not rent out the facility to the church, as their views do not reflect the district's inclusive values.
Instead, the district will now donate $10,000 of the money they have received from Celebration Church to the Austin Pride Parade and other LGBT districtwide activities. About $4,000 of the amount being donated to the Pride event will go towards transportation to ensure students, who would like to participate in the parade, can get there safely.
