JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Nearly two dozen protesters met outside The Museum of Science and History in Jacksonville Saturday morning to speak out against the fourth annual Pride celebration day downtown.
The demonstrators began hand in hand with a prayer then held up signs against the Pride celebration.
"This is a 'protect our children and family rally and family march and prayer rally,'" said Raymond Johnson, president and founder of Biblical Concept Ministries.
Protesters gathered outside as MOSH kicked off its fourth Pride celebration day with LGBTQ organizations, resources and drag performances.
Pride Celebration Day is in partnership with JASMYN, LGBT UNF Resource Center, River City Pride and the Women's Center of Jacksonville, with activities planned throughout the day.
