This is my Parish, actually. I fully support the Parish as well as our Diocese, which has split with the Episcopal Church of the United States over a number of theological concerns.

I'd ask that if you take the time to read it, use their silly scale to sound off that you are not, in fact, furious. It would be nice to see some support for our parish.

A child has been denied entrance into an Episcopal school in Bedford because her parents are married lesbians.

They are not married.

Poor child. She’ll be looking for the father when she’s old enough.

There is no such thing as married lesbians. There are only two perverts living together.

I feel for the kid being raised by attention whores like these. They had to know that any real Christian school would react this way.

And for everyone pushing same-sex marriage, this is an indication of what we will see as they push churches and affiliated religious institutions to recognize same-sex marriages.

The child is caught in the middle, and that’s sad.

Some people say that gay activists are NOT going to sue religious institutions about same-sex marriage or same-sex acceptance. But when you see events such as this, it makes you wonder if acceptance of the “gay” agenda is going to be forced on religions eventually.

Yet another example of how, as we are constantly told by the liberal lamestream media, these “alternative lifestyles” have no negative impact on the children involved.

Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered, contrary to the natural law, and presented in Sacred Scripture as "acts of grave depravity."

I don't see the problem with any Christian Church sending two genitalia worshipers packing. The only tragedy here is that poor child growing up with raving perverts polluting her soul.

Don’t punish the child. I don’t know what else to comment.

Married lesbians? Isn’t that an oxymoron? No such thing in my book!

I don’t see what the big hoopla is abot this. HLN kep playing it over and over. (I was in a VA waiting room, it’s all they had playing).
PRIVATE school. They can do what they want. They don’t want dike parents because they are a perversion of nature, end of story.

They keep pushing. Diversity also means recognizing that people’s religious beliefs must be respected.

A lesbian couple tried this at a Catholic school this year also.

Cudo’s to the school!

The school is private, and has it's own set of standards for student admission, and if it's anything like “real” private schools with a religious basis, there are morals clauses and participation demands of the parents.

One of the reasons I did not even bother to apply for the “private schools” I could afford, was that they also accepted students who were kicked out of public school, and did not even come close to sharing the schools stated moral and behavioral goals on the part of both the student and the parent(s).

Why pay tuition for what really amounts to a public school education, with a little religion tossed in?

Frankly, I am surprised that the parents of children who attend private, religious schools are not more vocal about the two tiered admission standards.

I would assume that if these people were members of the church they’ve been denied admission there as well.

You did the children a favor. Prolonged exposure to the type of “Christians” who take out their hate of the parents against the children might push them away from Christianity forever.

Rescuing the children from such an environment must be applauded. Well done.

Some good commentary about this at Stand Firm In Faith.

Oh as others have written, they are not married.
