I went to Catholic school.

I send my non-Catholic kid to Catholic school for the academics (which have been great).

I have another DD who is a lesbian and no she will never attend a Catholic school.  [/quote]

Your not concerned about the non-homosexual kid learning negative things that apply to lesbian DD?[/quote]

I'm another catholic school grad that basically feels like this although I don't know if I have a lesbian daughter since she is still very young.

To the point that a lot of other posters are making, in many catholic schools this is a non issue, it never comes up, everyone is tolerant etc. I went to Catholic school and gay and learned nothing negative, not even subconsciously, about gay people. And this was in the 90s so before gay people were super accepted.

There is a difference in existing in a framework that's very definition paints your lifestyle as less than regardless of whether the people there BELIEVE that. Like plenty of Catholics have zero problems with gay people and their lifestyle. But a Catholic school by definition at least passively endorses the view they are less than. I don't think that would bleed into a kid that wasn't gay, but I would be nervous about subjecting a kid who was questioning to that. [/quote]
