The high school in my predominantly very conservative part of the country I am from was not at all open to any sort of diversity of thought/lifestyle though I know many students who came out in college and after. It must have been a miserable existence.

My son attended Gonzaga and there were several gay students he knew (several years ago). They were out and accepted. Many were in the theater program, which is excellent.

The Jesuits are more liberal and accepting.

Every Catholic school in DC has gay parents, staff, and students. The Jesuits are not the only liberal and accepting order.

Given that same-sex sexual activity has been documented in more than 450 animal species, your comment is nothing but bigotry.

Your comment shows typical inside the Beltway extreme leftism.

We aren’t Catholic, but we were and left in the church part because of the Church’s stance on acceptance of LGBTQ+ members. We are still practicing Christians and want the sense of community, but we’re curious about attitudes/treatment/acceptance of LBGTQ+ kids by a) students b) teachers/admin. I’d love to hear from parents whose kids go there now.

"I'd like to send my kid to a school run by people who think he/she is going to hell due to their sinful/deviant/sodomite/buzzwordhere behavior, what do you guys think?"

I think that despite what my teacher told me when I was in school, there are, in fact, stupid questions.

3/4th favor grooming kids?

I don't know how you introduced the irrelevant concept of "grooming" because that's neither stated nor implied anywhere in the survey questions.
