Catholic High School Allows Male Couple to Attend Dance

[UrbScotty]

Two gay teens who attend McQuaid Jesuit High School are being welcomed to attend their Junior Ball as a couple.

McQuaid Jesuit High School is an all-boys Catholic school in Brighton, N.Y. According to Rochesterhomepage.net, a petition in support of the out students was quickly placed online after the boys asked permission to attend McQuaid’s Junior Ball as a couple.

Shortly thereafter, school president, Father Edward Salmon, sent a detailed note to parents on March 27, saying, “If our two brothers who have asked to attend the Junior Ball wish to do so, they will be welcomed.”

Good for them.

1. I agree "good for them"

I think this actually does not violate any church teachings, as I understand them.

3. Luckily, it's a free country, and they are not required to agree with him.

And God bless America for that!

4. I do not condone bigotry based on sexual orientation.
