Gay Pride Week....in schools?

[Michael038]

ezra1892:

Yep. My school is the latest to jump on the bandwagon. High Schools all across the nation have been springing up with Gay Straight Alliances that promote an effort to acceptance of EVERYONE. Many of these alliances have also begun promoting Gay Pride Weeks for the school! Ours is next week and all I can say is its about time!

Do you guys feel as though Gay Pride Week for High Schools is pushing the envelope?

Once again Satan is useing the culture to shove his agenda down the throats of the people. I thank God for Catholic Schools. The public system has gone way down hill!

are you serious? In high school?

I’m like the above poster, there are not Heterosexual weeks or long haired people’s week or Jamican week or I wear blue jeans week.

Wow…double WOW

Yeah, I heard recently they ended segregation. What were they thinking? Why cant people just leave well enough alone? Cant they see change is bad?

This country was founded with the belief that slavery was fine. Funny, because it isnt legal anymore.

Please stop equating your ‘plight’ to slavery…you sound downright silly. :tsktsk:

And, ‘pride’ is one of the 7 deadly sins, too…just wanted to add that.

So, we all shouldn’t be boasting or prideful about ANYYYYYTHING…

forget the iditioic notion of homosexual as a deadly sin.

And GSA’s are important. If some of us were a bit more tolerant and accepting, we wouldnt need them. Lets not forget what some gay kids at shcool have to go through…

Urf:

For those of you questioning the purposed of “gay pride” you should be looking at your own posts. Views like yours are the reason people feel it necessary to have events such as this.

See, believe it or not, there are beliefs out there that are in fact NOT (emphasis on -->not<–) Catholicism.

As for the “hetero pride” argument… please, consider coming up with a decent argument before posting. I dont see anyone complaining that there is no white history month.

I believe Urf makes a good point here.

Whether or not you agree with the concept of GSA’s etc. is irrelevant.

These groups are formed to reach an understanding an promote removing ignorance about homosexuality. I would consider them to be pretty near the final straw. Their aim is to try and make room for respect between fellow human beings, and to find the present common ground that both homosexuals and heterosexuals have - as humans.

Whilst I don’t think that these groups are necessary, I also know very little about the situation in America - if these GSA’s are going up all over the country, but not all over the world, perhaps this says more about how some (albeit a significant number of) American people view homosexuality, rather than how gays wish to force themselves upon everyone?

I think that people have a lack of sensitivity when it comes to homosexuality. Catholics are supposed to reflect the love, kindness and charity of Jesus in everything they do, but to me, from my rather inexperienced viewpoint, it seems that this sensitivity has gone completely out of the window when dealing with homosexuality.

And don’t forget that in a school environment, you are dealing with young teens - I for one am near emotionally incontenent p) you cannot afford to be anything less than kind when dealing with teens who are struggling to find their place!! And this means, being tactful in what you say - even if it is catechism approved, as, lets face it, the catechism was hardly written by emotional teens, and also, how loving does “objectively disordered” etc. sound to an emotional 14/15/16 year old?

If this “program” or “event”'s true purpose is to fight ignorance, then the specifics of homosexual acts and the homosexual lifestyle are being presented, I assume. Yeah, right. Otherwise, it’s desensitizing propaganda in my book.

I don’t know - from what I have heard they usually tend to have a question time during the session where anyone can ask questions about homosexuality + heterosexuality, so such topics could be addressed there - other than that I really don’t know.

A chaste homosexual has no need to declare himself.

I think where the problem lies is wanting to respect sinful lifestyles. That is not going to happen. The politically correct theme is that we all deserve to be respected. No one really deserves anything. It is all a gift from God. We are the stewards of these gifts.

Well I think it is a shame that you feel that way, we should all feel respect for one another as human beings, and whilst I think it sends across a very depressing messages that these GSAs have had to be opened, I also welcome efforts to ensure that people maintain their respect for one another, and do not let it disappear solely because of anothers sexual orientation.

Yours, in respect for all life

Libero,

Once and for all , it has nothing to do with orientation. It has to do with the act.

The respect or the GSA’s - you should not loose respect because somebody carries out an act that you do not personally agree with - My grandad smokes and drinks way too much, he is pretty much killing himself, I sitll have respect for him though.

Do you have total respect? The highest respect?

Respect comes in levels. I have much less respect for an active homosexual and much more respect for a married couple (man and woman) trying to live the Gospel faithfully.

The equivalency of all behaviors meriting the same level of respect is pure PC bunk and is not reality. This is common sense at its most fundamental level.

I have respect - I try not to make favourites, and I also try not to pre judge people who I don’t know with a lower level of respect because they engage in their orientation. I like that it is apparently politically correct - that is not an insult

You have bought the PC agenda hook line and sinker. This slippery slope espouses tolerance so that all agree with all choices, but if one chooses a belief contrary it is called hateful and the whole PC movement ends up being intolerant. It cannot be reconciled. It is a false premise.

As far as judging goes - No one can judge a particular person’s salvation, one can and should judge their acts. True Christian charity demands fraternal correction.
