LGBT News teacher with gay son quits over new school contract

This woman is awesome. (!!)

 

Amazing mother he has there

 

The poll..

I expected at least decent comments on why yes/no, but the yes category is fulled with BS fallacious arguments and the only real arguments are very cruel and lacking in emotion. I literally read one that says u DO NOT get to pick and choose which parts of Catholicism you follow. I laughed out loud.

 

I'm so tired of all the discrimination. Like seriously, if people think we're going to hell just because we like people of the same sex, then why can't they just accept that we're going to hell and just leave us be.

Like, don't we have more important things in the world to spend energy on like curing poverty and ending famines or something?

 

What you should find funny is that a lot of people on the "yes" side of that are hypocrites. When it comes to anti-gay people like Brendan Eich getting the boot from Mozilla they were up in arms. They also get up in arms over HGTV deciding not to give the two anti-gay bigot brothers their own reality TV show.

Yet, in the same breath they'll tell you that the Catholic Church has the right to set their own policies, and people who disagree with those policies should quit or be fired. Ironically, it's only a one way street. You don't get to set policies that people like them are morally wrong, and should be fired for their misconduct. Nope. Only the policies that go after homo's and homo-lovers need apply for their approval.

I love their double standard.

Personally, I congratulate this mother on taking a stand, and hope that others follow in her footsteps. You should vote with your feet whenever possible. Do not waste your talents on bigoted institutions.

I do, however, support the Catholic Church's right to craft their own policies. Naturally, I find it abhorrent and bigoted. Let's be clear - they are a bigoted institution. It's disgusting. However, in giving them that right it also allows us to ensure that our secular institutions have values that are pro-LGBT. Which means that people who share the values of the Catholic Church can be fired from those institutions, just as those who don't share the values of the Catholic Church can be fired from their institutions.

We can't force the church to change it's policies, but we can put pressure on those who fund it and help make it work. We should actively discourage people to quit, and ensure that they have jobs waiting for them elsewhere. If they share the bigoted view of the Catholic Church, then we should mark them and remember them, so that they can be targeted should they ever leave the church behind. We don't want someone with those values teaching in a normal school, spreading their hateful bigotry to non-Catholic students. Similarly, we should look at the parents who send their children to such institutions, questioning and putting pressure on them.

We should actively deprive the Catholic Church and it's institutions of our secular wealth, power, and talent. Let them cultivate things on their own, and live in the dark ages if that's where they want to live. When they're ready to enter the modern world, we'll be waiting for them.

They pick and choose every day. In fact, a lot of religions cherry pick out of their religious texts whatever supports their argument while forgetting critical pieces of those same texts that decry their exact behavior.

 

Now there's a mum for you.

 

What an awesome person, she is!
