[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic school parent here. I just love how some posters say it’s a matter of priorities and isn’t it great when parents value education. As if most parents of kids in public don’t value it. So inaccurate and condescending.

This. I would never send my child to a Catholic school because we're not Catholic. We didn't even consider it--it wasn't even an option for us. [/quote]

I considered it for my child.  I grew up Catholic and love the Catholic Social Teachings.  When my kid came out as gay, I decided it was a bad idea.  Keep that aspect in mind.[/quote]

It has to happen that gay kids are in or come out in Catholic middle or high schools. I’m curious how the admin/teachers/students respond [/quote]

There are LGBTQ+ kids at most Catholic schools. In our experience, they just don't make a big deal of it. No parades or flags, just another kid in the class like anyone else. Comply with dress code like everyone else. Go to prom like everyone else. Play whichever roles in the theater you want (and get picked for).

I get why some would see to avoid it, though. [/quote]

Boys go to prom with boys and girls with girls, or not?[/quote]

DP who has chaperoned prom. Yes, we have girls go with girls, boys with boys.

I agree with the PP. The students are accepted and welcomed as part of the student population, just like everyone else. It isn’t made into anything different. [/quote]
