[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get him a new school. Please.[/quote]

maybe it's a clever way to get out of going to catholic school?  :)

An 11 year old could be bullied at any school for being gay or for being considered gay.  It's really not an issue until he wants to start dating.  In many ways I don't believe the OP is real b/c of course anyone would know Catholic school wouldn't be the best fit for a gay kid.[/quote]

While Catholic schools aren't "gay friendly", don't assume bullying based on sexual identity is tolerated. My kid never heard the term "gay" used as a slur in all her years in Catholic school. Two weeks into MCPS, she's heard it dozens of times. She was shocked and dismayed at how mean public school students are to each other in general and how openly homophobic the boys are.[/quote]

It's true that Catholic schools are good with character development. I don't know if the same can be said for the Church. The last time I went to mass (2 years ago), a visiting priest went on a rant about how gay people are destroying marriage. My child kept asking why he would say those things. Public school is what it is.[/quote]
