If any of this resonates with OP, I’d look at one of the more traditional boys schools. Sexuality is a private matter. -I’m leaving the thread now!

Yeah, all the distasteful public discussion that ended sodomy laws, allowed same sex marriage, outlawed employment discrimination on sexual preference, stopped police raids of gay bars and clubs, jeez, how did we ever let society devolve into the state that it's in now?

Just button it all up in the closet where it belongs, SILENT.

GMAFB.

My gay son finds people like your friends, with their “rights for me but not for thee” view of queer identity to be maddening.

Sexuality is emphatically not a private matter when 29% of trans youth have attempted suicide due to bullying.

Here’s an idea — instead of trying to silence the people pointing out oppression, maybe work on stopping the oppression?

Please stop, seriously.

Please don’t send him to a school where the majority of the culture supports politicians and leaders who are actively working to make your son’s life worse. You don’t need to go full stop on the DEI agenda but think about it, you want a place that supports your son and the LGBTQ which is exactly what other parents want for their kids too and the DEI work is actively working to do that.

You trolled this answer on the gay-friendly Catholic school thread too.

Not sure what you're talking about but I was serious. Don't take my word for it - You'll find many recent threads on here with Heights parents talking about how progressive it is for a Catholic school

It is known to be ultra conservative.

This is DC, where barely 6% of registered voters are Republican. There are no such schools.

DP. I disagree. Those 6% apply by the hundreds to certain schools and many end up getting admitted. One in particular I know of many students and parents who are openly homophobic.

You don’t have gay friends. So this is a complete lie.

The correct abbreviation is LGBTQAI. Are asexual and intersex not welcome at your school?

Got it.

Mmmkay OP. This right here is the problem.

Why would anyone care about someone being asexual?

Are there moderate schools that will be accepting of a gay child but aren't hyper-left wing on cultural issues? We just need him to be supported and respected. We aren't looking for much more.

Just deal with the "woke." Send him to Sidwell, GDS, or another progressive-minded school. It'll be woke but your son's self-esteem will be stronger for his entire life.

These are two of the most competitive schools in the city to get into. You don’t just “send” him there unless your last name ends in Biden or Sotomayor.

Not to mention that Sidwell is know to be a self-esteem crusher for everyone.
