Yes, it is sad when anyone is denied anything because of sexual orientation!

However, I am with AJ. But for an additional reason as well.

I went to religious schools and was at church every time the door was open. It did not however, keep me safe.

I think religious schools give a false sense of security, like nothing bad can happen there. Bad things can and do happen there and the sheltering and denial that goes on can lead to kids not knowing stuff they would know if they went to public school...like how not to put themselves in bad situations where they can be sexually assaulted. If something like that does happen, the school and church will tell the child to keep quiet and deny anything happened.

The kids are safer out in the world. Way safer.

And, think back to your teen years. Who were the wildest kids you knew with the best drugs? The kids at catholic school.
