[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a gay person or child want to go to a catholic school or church?  [b]Pretty sure most Catholic Churches are not gay affirming[/b].I feel like many families leave the Catholic Church over this issue.[/quote]
There are some.  It is important too seek one out of your child's sake.  Go there if you want to raise you child in Catholic or other christian Faith.  Just make sure it is affirming. [url]https://www.gaychurch.org/find_a_church/[/url]

Although I think that (going to church) would be fine, I'm pretty sure Catholic schools aren't a great fit for a gay child from what I'm reading here on DCUM.  Even if the school itself isn't an issue, you're gonna be surrounded by people who send their kids to Catholics with the intention of being around like-minded people.  The families, other kids, etc might not treat your child well.  Check out schools like Sidwell, GDS, SAES, SSFS, Bullis, Potomac, Waldorf, etc - so many to choose from.

You should [b]not speak for Catholics[/b] if you are not one and you have not experience with a Catholic school.
There are MAGA Catholics and there are Catholics that accept all people. [/quote]
I'm the PP and am not speaking for anyone.  I did point out that my comment about schools was based on, "from what I'm reading here on DCUM."  I also do think an affirming church (including catholic) would be best choice.  [/quote]

DCUM does a terrible job when it comes to Catholicism. There’s a lot of Catholic hate here, and much of it isn’t grounded in reality.

I argued recently with a poster who was CERTAIN Catholics believe in creationism. No, that is not taught in Catholic schools. Catholics actually believe in science.

Down here a lot of fundamentalist beliefs bleed into catholic churches. Seton Ann Homeschool definitely believes in creationism and that is taught in a lot of smaller catholic schools. There are some groups in catholic schools and churches that do spout this stuff.[/quote]

Where are you getting this information? Name a Catholic school that is teaching creationism. I’m a lifelong Catholic and product of Catholic schools and have never met a single Catholic who believes in creationism. [/quote]
