Be Tolerant!
The news coming out of Boulder Colorado today is about a young girl with lesbian parents. The girl is enrolled in the private Catholic school and she won't be allowed to enroll again....because she has lesbian parents.
Of course there is a group protesting this claimed "intolerant" behavior. The conversation goes like this;
"It's clear if they only accept students with perfect parents, they would have almost nobody," said Beth Osnes, an organizer for the protest. "I know they have the right to, but why would they want to? "
Inside the church, the Rev. Bill Breslin addressed the issue in his sermon. He also posted his comments on his blog.
"If a child of gay parents comes to our school, and we teach that gay marriage is against the will of God, then the child will think that we are saying their parents are bad," Breslin said on his blog. "We don't want to put any child in that tough position."
DeMelo said the schools do not ask questions about sexual orientation during enrollment, but once they found out, they had to address it according to their policy.
"We're not trying to weed out people," DeMelo said. "But when they can't agree with our Catholic philosophy, it really makes it difficult to be a strong part of the school community; it's a difficult situation."

It's funny...why would lesbian parents want to put their kids in a Catholic school that they know doesn't ordain their behavior?
Why won't the lesbian parents and protesters be more tolerant of the Catholic church's stance? Why are those lesbians and protesters so intolerant of other's views?
