[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]

The question is about schools not churches.[/quote]
Correct.  The suggestion was why not consider a non Catholic school, and just make sure to incorporate regular church visits at a Catholic Church (affirming)[/quote]

There are a ton of reasons not to. They’re too expensive, it’s hard to get into, they don’t seem that welcoming, they’re way too wealthy, they don’t have good sports, I don’t really like their theater program, they don’t have a matching band…. There are a ton of reasons not to go to those schools.[/quote]
