The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, delivered a letter to the Vatican on behalf of 9 teachers who have lost their jobs at Catholics Schools for either being LGBT, or supporting an LGBT family member.
Last month, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati took anti-LGBT to a new level, calling not only for the firing of gay and lesbian school employees, but also citing support of the “homosexual lifestyle” as grounds for dismissal. More than 2,200 educators at 94 parochial schools in the archdiocese have been affected by this new contract. In April 2014, HRC responded by delivering a petition signed by over 30,000 supporters of the Cincinnati Diocesan school teachers calling on Archbishop Schnurr to remove the discriminatory clause.
Since then, Molly Shumate, who has been a devoted first grade teacher in Cincinnati for 14 years, was forced to resign after being asked to choose between her career as an educator and supporting her own gay son. These draconian laws are designed to force LGBT people back into the closet and silence straight allies.
They have sparked a frightening trend that is being duplicated in Cleveland, Oakland, Hawaii and most recently in Macon, Georgia where just last week Flint Dollar was fired from his position as Band Director at Mount De Sale’s Academy. Dollar says that he was fired from the Catholic school by President David Held, who cited Dollar’s pending marriage to his male partner of six years as the reason for termination. Mount de Sales students and parents are reportedly planning a sit-in protesting the decision.

I thought HRC was for Hillary Rotten Clinton.
Sounds like many on the left wouldn’t mind Catholics if they just didn’t act so Catholic.
A visible homosexual “ lifestyle” is unacceptable for teachers to be employed in
biblically- affiliated schools. This fact is widely known and is usually part of the hiring contract conditions. These misguided folks are wasting their time
Burn them at the stake. They are an existential threat.
no difference in function or daily practice.
you should not have to be a religious organization to object to a sexual fetish. by this group’s logic those on predator lists should be a “protected class”
interesting to note how this group is demanding access to minors AGAIN.
It is for most people at least, a choice. But a choice that definitely needs to be discouraged. And while we protect the Indivudual rights and liberties of all concerned, our government has absolutely no business promoting this “lifestyle”
And especially not to our children .
Homo Reich Crusade
I wish this were a joke
Are they delivering the same letter to Muslim schools, to Mecca, the local Imams? When was the last time Catholics BEHEADED or executed homosexuals? Muslims do it every day! These apologists don’t have the guts to attack a violent militant ‘religion’ so they attack it’s opposition. Could it be that Islam-officially- is anti-homosexuality, but in reality is all about men using boys and hating women?
Dear HRC: This is the danger of believing your own press releases.
If they don’t like the Catholic Church’s uncompromising teaching, they can leave. It’s not rocket science. No one is forcing them to affiliate with anyone.
Isn’t one of the reasons parents send their children to Catholic schools to involve stuff like the LGBT agenda infecting their education?
The same sex positive crowd are decidedly ANTI-abstinence because it is contrary to their worldview that if you desire sex with someone, you should act on it regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).
Yes, well I hear that sheep are loads of fun. (?)
You wouldn’t know it by the CINO parents who come out in support of the deviants. Note the sit in.
bump
I wish the Vatican just come right out and say,
“NO! IT IS A SIN TO SLEEP SOMEONE OF YOUR OWN SEX! PERIOD! ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE. YOU DON’T GET TO CHANGE THE RULES. NOW, EITHER GET WITH THE PROGRAM OR GET OUT.”
