[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholic school parent here. I just love how some posters say it’s a matter of priorities and isn’t it great when parents value education. As if most parents of kids in public don’t value it. So inaccurate and condescending.

This. I would never send my child to a Catholic school because we're not Catholic. We didn't even consider it--it wasn't even an option for us. [/quote]

I considered it for my child.  I grew up Catholic and love the Catholic Social Teachings.  When my kid came out as gay, I decided it was a bad idea.  Keep that aspect in mind.[/quote]

It has to happen that gay kids are in or come out in Catholic middle or high schools. I’m curious how the admin/teachers/students respond [/quote]

Yes it happens. Gay and trans kids accepted in our highly regarded Catholic HS in the DMV. It is not unusual at all. The only difference is the sheer numbers. Public schools tend to breed more of the contagion mainly because the concept of LGBTQ is strongly celebrated at public schools. Not necessarily the case at Catholic schools, where there is more "acceptance" rather than "celebration." [/quote]

No acceptance in your house apparently.

Honestly? We're grateful we aren't in that position. My daughter is very accepting of her classmates who have chosen that path. I am old school and truly believe a lot of these kids are just troubled and will figure things out as they mature.[/quote]
