[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ definitely. My kid has named two sets of parents who don't accept their trans and/or queer kid.

As a queer person with a queer kid, I see both sides of this debate. I don't like the idea of secrets, either, and wonder why queer stuff gets special treatment that nothing else would. Like if my kid told me she was taking advanced bio and she were really taking non-advanced but the school covered it up, I wouldn't support that.

On the other hand, queer and trans kids don't choose to be queer, and they didn't choose for Republican politicians to use trans bathrooms and athletic participation as a dog-whistle to drum up votes. They didn't choose for books with the slightest hint of queer content to be banned and their authors harassed for being pedophiles. So maybe the one-off issue treatment is warranted. [/quote]

Queer book bans and trans athlete/bathroom stuff is not happening at DC area non-religous private schools.  Can we please stop nationalizing everything.

To put it another way - would anyone that is homophobic send their kid to a school like GDS?[/quote]
