Canadian School Board Official Calls Jesus A “Drag Queen” on Good Friday

"Here's a reminder that Jesus himself was a radical activist... and a drag queen…Happy Easter…!"

A Canadian school board official and LGBT activist faced swift backlash during Holy Week over a tweet purportedly claiming that Jesus Christ was a “drag queen.”

Sara Savoia, a former teacher who The Blaze reports identifies herself using “plural pronouns,” has locked her account after the Good Friday message stating, "Here's a reminder that Jesus himself was a radical activist... and a drag queen. And also not white. Happy Easter to all those celebrating!"

The tweet reportedly was accompanied with an illustration of Jesus sitting with children captioned, "Oh look, it's a man in a dress telling stories to children."

This is a clear reference to Drag Queen Story Hour events, which have grown in popularity over the last ten years and became a major cultural flashpoint in 2022.

It is unclear if Savoia earnestly believes Jesus was a drag queen or was simply joking as the Messiah is often depicted wearing a tunic typical for men of the time in which He lived on earth.

She has since locked her Twitter account.

Savoia is the “Trans and Gender Diverse Student Support Coordinator” to the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, one of the largest in the nation.

The Blaze also notes that this is not the first time that she has gained attention for anti-Christian rhetoric.

In October 2022, Savoia argued that Catholic schools should be eliminated if they would not adhere to radical left-wing views on sexuality and gender.

"If that religion cannot change its practice of teaching children that there is something wrong with them because of their sexual orientation … then we should stop that religion from having a separate education system," she tweeted.
