Dylan Payan, who performs in drag, received death threats and the school's principal was placed on leave after a high school prom performance led to transphobic complaints.
Students mentioned that the event featured child-friendly activities but noted concerns about the appropriateness of Sahreen's twerking and actions, especially in a venue full of minors.
Despite school officials approving Payan's performance and attire, negative comments on social media targeted the show's content, leading to transphobic remarks and calls for it to be deemed inappropriate for minors.
Payan reported having conducted LGBTQ+ workshops at the school previously without backlash, but post-prom performance received hateful messages and even death threats, indicating a shift in reactions.
