A Catholic school in Costa Mesa has taken a stand against parents who want them to expel two students because they have gay parents. The parents, under the guise of wanting their children to be taught the fullness of Catholic doctrine, published on open letter in the LA Times demanding the exclusions.
Martin Benzoni, who is the principal of the school, says that allowing the students to attend is perfectly in line with Catholic doctrine. Gerald Horen, the superintendent of the diocese, backed Benzoni and said that if he started excluding students based on the fact that their parents were gay, that would lead down a slippery slope to where people would be calling for students to be excluded because parents were divorced, used birth control, or even married outside the church.
This story exposes many anti-gay activists for who they are. They not only think the same-sex lifestyles are bad, they want to marginalize innocent victims so that they can never live the American dream like heterosexuals can.
There is a lot of doublethink at play here. Many anti-gay activists think that same-sex lifestyles are a behavioral issue, not a genetic issue. But if they were really interested in this couple as people, they would at least get to know them as a couple and try to evangelize them. They would at least be following the command of the Bible which says for them to go and preach the gospel to all nations within their framework. But instead, they are violating their own framework by demanding that the Catholic school deny them a high quality education that they feel Catholic education offers to people.
Also, if they are so concerned that the students will become gay through living with gay parents, why are they trying to shut them off from the one environment (in their view) which will help them avoid becoming gay? They think homosexuality is a behavioral issue, but then they try to deny the students a chance to learn about the virtues of a heterosexual lifestyle first-hand.
Horen is implying with his comments that the anti-gay activists are seeking to live a gated community/exurban lifestyle that even the Roman Catholic Church would agree is exclusionary. This kind of bigotry is the same kind of bigotry that existed in the South back in the 1950's. These anti-gay activists are going against their own Bible and their own framework in order to exclude people from their company.
So when your anti-gay friends rant and rave about the gay agenda, you can tell them that even the Roman Catholic Church believes that children of gay parents should be allowed to have a good education and interact with other kids normally and that all same-sex couples want out of us is to be treated fairly in life.
