Got it.

This.

OP wants a unicorn.

to some people, there is a difference between a person who happens to be gay and just wants to go to school and be himself/herself, as opposed to people who want to make a political statement by forcing drag queen story hour and cross-over bathrooms. people in the first category may be MORE offended by people in the second category than a straight person would be.

you can mock the OP all you like, but I get what she is asking and I think it is a valid question.

Are there moderate schools that will be accepting of a gay child but aren't hyper-left wing on cultural issues? We just need him to be supported and respected. We aren't looking for much more.

If any of this resonates with OP, I’d look at one of the more traditional boys schools. Sexuality is a private matter. -I’m leaving the thread now!

My gay son finds people like your friends, with their “rights for me but not for thee” view of queer identity to be maddening.

Sexuality is emphatically not a private matter when 29% of trans youth have attempted suicide due to bullying.

Here’s an idea — instead of trying to silence the people pointing out oppression, maybe work on stopping the oppression?

Please stop, seriously.

I won’t stop advocating against the current overwhelming rise in anti-LGBTQ hate and violence. How about you stop advocating for silence in the face of that hate and violence?

I wasn't aware that there is currently an overwhelming rise in anti-LGBTQ hate and violence. without attacking me for asking the question, can you explain what you mean?

One of many links I found.

Parents opposing drag queen story hour for kids isn’t exactly a hate crime.

Is is when those parents are “Moms for Liberty” — an organization with strong ties to white nationalists whose members have specifically advocated curtailing the rights of kids like mine and worked actively to deny health care to other kids.

What civil rights do they not have?

Neither sexual orientation nor gender identity is considered a federal suspect class.

You don’t need to go full stop on the DEI agenda but think about it, you want a place that supports your son and the LGBTQ which is exactly what other parents want for their kids too and the DEI work is actively working to do that.

This is DC, where barely 6% of registered voters are Republican. There are no such schools.

DP. I disagree. Those 6% apply by the hundreds to certain schools and many end up getting admitted. One in particular I know of many students and parents who are openly homophobic.

I hope you end up in the
“wokest” school there is.
