Dozens of students turned out Friday to protest the resignation of Christine Judd, the lesbian dean and athletic director of Cathedral High School in Massachusetts, who said she was forced to step down after she married her partner.

Watch video below of the protest from 22News WWLP.

The Springfield Diocese maintains that Judd, as an administrator, broke her agreement to uphold the doctrine and teachings of the Catholic Church.

According to WWLP, Judd has not announced whether she will take legal action.
