[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a gay woman who’s child goes to a conservative Christian evangelical school. We are Christian but very liberal. She goes to this school because it’s better than the current local public, the hours work for our schedules, and it’s affordable. My child has made friends and so have I. I don’t love the Church views on my marriage but the school itself has been welcoming and supportive. Don’t judge your neighbors for choosing the school they chose..[/quote]

Hope you heed this post, OP.

Many people send their kids to religiously affiliated schools when the parents don't attend the associated church. Or maybe any church at all.

Alternatively, your neighbors might indeed be Christians who don't necessarily agree with every single tenet their church congregation holds (IF they even go to the church affiliated with the school). Not every congregation is only composed of people who march in lock-step to every single belief. You're stereotyping your neighbors without knowing what they actually believe at all, you're basing your assumptions on...a sticker.

Or maybe your neighbors really are social conservatives who don't believe gay marriage should exist and/or disapprove of homosexuality. You don't know. They have not preached at you, right? But their actions toward you and your children are all you have to judge them by. And they appear not to have done anything but be welcoming--right?[/quote]
