Oh dear.

A group of oh-so-concerned parents is trying to kick some kindegarteners out of a Catholic school because their parents are icky gays.

The Rev. Gerald M. Horan, superintendent of diocese schools, said that if Catholic beliefs were strictly adhered to, then children whose parents divorced, used birth control or married outside the church would also have to be banned.

"This is the quagmire that the parents' position represents," he said. "It's a slippery slope to go down."

My God. It's actual logic. *hugs*

Others are worried the boys' attendance will set a precedent, saying their presence is part of a larger effort by the gay community to change the church.

"The boys are being used as pawns by these men to further their agenda," said Monica Sii, who has four children at the school.

Possibly, possibly. Not every person sends their kids to school for the sole purpose of seeing them educated. But... what, exactly, do you think you're making them if not pawns to further your agenda? They're five years old, and you're saying they shouldn't attend the same school as your kids because of what they're parents presumably do.

My God. It's actual logic. *hugs* Oddly enough, not all clergy are as bigoted as their parishoners. Some are, but. . . It is nice to see there are smart people in the world.

I wonder if it's two men or two women. . . hey, if guy-guy sex is sodomy, is girl-girl sex gommory?

In light of your userpic search -- if you get rid of this mawwiage icon I will be veddy sad indeed.

1. Male-male.
2. Would you? Because that'd mean I didn't need it anymore, which would *rock*.

2 confuses me. . . If you haven't noticed, I'm easily confused. You should keep the Mawwiage icon, because it's so much fun.

I think her point is that were she to remove it, it would mean she no longer had reason to use it. And no longer having reason to use it would be a very happy occasion.

Even when we get marriage equality, we can still cewebwate it. . . :D But I would rather there was no reason to use it, I agree.

There are many reasons, upto and including:

1: price. Catholic private schools are cheaper than standard ones, generally.

2: maybe one of 'em is Catholic. It's possible.

3: the Quality of the school. Private is almost always > public.

4: they might not be Catholic, but I know people who aren't Catholic who send thier kids there because of the discipline.

5: shoot, it might even be a status thing. some parents send thier kids to the most awesomest schools they can becuase it makes them look good.

/ramble.

It's on Fark right now.
