I didn’t tell you how I “sacrificed” him, did I.
The really sad thing is that now, there’s no way that kid will be comfortable in that school now-people are going to be giving him a hard time (“My best friend went to another school because your parents are evil faggot perverts who will go to hell!”) or something like that.
Very true Guin. The Beatitudes-weren’t they a grunge band? 
You know, I wondered about that, too. I don’t wish to jump to conclusions, but I wonder how the kid’s parents are planning on dealing with the message the kid is bound to get about how wrong their relationship is. Not that I agree at all with that message, of course. But it IS a Catholic school.
That they’ll hear it from other students is lamentably likely (though I would be very very happy to discover that not being the case). However, it is not necessarily a foregone conclusion that they will get it from the faculty. In the entirety of my time in high school* I don’t remember (and I expect I would) one homophobic comment coming from faculty members. On the contrary, I heard some things that, looking back, were quite telling in some situations and at least positive in their neutrality in others. I did hear any number of ignorant things from fellow students, though (some of which things came from my own mouth).
My hope would be that this school (the one cited in the OP) will decide that it is better not to be divisive by pre-emptively condemning folks to Hell. My recollection is that Catholic theology says something to the effect of “we don’t know who’s going where, and there is no way to know,” so - assuming my recollection is correct, complete and accurate - this school would probably be more concerned with other things, such as math and language arts and critical thinking and community involvement.
*For anyone wondering why my high school time might bear any relevance to this, I went to a boarding school run by monks. Very very Catholic.
Plus, you just know those kind, loving parents are the same ones who would be screaming that just because your child was fathered by a rapist doesn’t mean you should be allowed an abortion–after all, the child is innocent.
I guess some kids are a lot more innocent than others and any old run-of-the-mill rapist is just fine as the parent of a child in a Catholic school and certainly would not be trying to promote the rapist agenda.
I went to high school and played football in the South.
Any guesses as to whether I heard any anti-gay talk from my coaches and teachers?
Meh, I doubt it will even come up. Catholic schools don’t do much of the fire and brimstone routine anymore. The religion class is probably going to be more focused on theological philosophy, the likes of Aquinas, Augustine, etc. than any particular OT teachings.
I think I get it. The poppers comment wasn’t about amyl, it was about cherries. Am I right?
