GloriaPatri4 said:Gay people, that is sexually active homosexuals should not hold jobs where they are in a position of mentor or role model to impressionalble children or adolescents. I don’t believe they should hold these positions at colleges either.
Go ahead and do something about it then, by the way there is such a thing as private colleges as well, on which you can’t impose that sort of thing. If that were the case I’d have been deprived of one of the best art teachers I’ve ever had in college… and I’d have to then say, “Thank you, your opinions have provided me with a mediocre education.”
Respect is the wrong word. The word I should have used was esteem. Someone made the comment “It’s not like the principal is cool”. Well whether or not the principal is cool or not the principals are esteemed, they are revered, they’re honored.

There are certain jobs a sexually **active **homosexual should not have and school principal is one of them. Should we have polygamists, zoophiles, pederasts, people who occasionally shoot up heroin, addicted gamblers, alcoholics and wife beaters be principals of elementary, middle or high schools simply because they deserve our respect? I’m not saying that only active homosexuals shouldn’t be in these positions, I’m saying anyone (not just homosexuals). Principals and teachers should be good role models and show a good example.
Well, you must think the Catholic Church is hateful too since they came out with the No gays in the seminary document.

Absolutely not, because they’re a criminal, all those sorts of people you mentioned are criminals because they engage in lewd behavior with children, animals and unwilling sorts of participants. Of course they should not have that job because they ought to be in JAIL, and that’s under current laws, not just something you dreamed up. Hmosexuals are consenting adults, and while we may find what they do to be morally wrong, it’s not illegal.
Up until a few years ago Sodomy was illegal in most states but then that thing in Texas happened cnn.com/2003/LAW/06/26/scotus.sodomy/ . That thing was a set up from the beginning worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46984. Gambling is not illegal in many places and to my knowledge its not illegal to be an alcholic unless you’re getting intoxicated it in public.
So as long as the government passes laws to make morally wrong things legal its okay by you? If tomorrow they made smoking pot and shooting up heroin a legal activity then it would be okay for those individuals to teach in schools? I guess by your standards the answer is yes. Abortion was once illegal and now its legal does that make it okay? No. Someday it might be legal for men to marry boys. Its already legal in most states for adult men to marry underage girls (some a young as 14). So if five years from now if a man can legally marry an underage boy (with the boy’s consent of course) then that would be okay with you?

You seem to be contradicting yourself. So you are saying even though you do not think it’s right for adults (heterosexual or homosexual) to marry 14 year olds even if its legal you still think they have the right to become principal of a school as long as they are law abiding citizens?

And so what happens when the kids happen to see their school principal and his male or her female lover being intimate in public?What on earth is wrong with that? Gay people aren’t allowed to have jobs? Their sexual orientation really has nothing to do with the everyday running of a school… I wouldn’t worry about it affecting the students either, it’s not like the school principal is “cool”. They don’t seem to be Catholic schools either from what I get from the article. I had gay teachers in college, trust me, their sexuality never came up and it made absolutely no difference.
So what do you mean by “intimate”? I’m guessing you mean kissing or being close… well I know I would have said “Ew…” and then I would have walked on and forgotten about it… same as just about anyone I know… apparently you wouldn’t be able to get over it? That’s too bad if you’re really that sensitive.
The point isn’t whether or not adults can handle seeing immoral behavior. I can handle it (gays being intimate) and yes I’ve seen it, remember I live in California. I know it’s wrong and it sounds like you know it’s wrong too. The problem is the more kids are exposed to these things the more they will become immune to it and think it is normal and just an alternative lifestyle even more so when its their teachers or principal doing it. No matter how much parents and the church teach children active homosexuality is sinful if they see it and hear about it all the time all that teaching isn’t going to matter to most of those kids. Kids learn by example.
Yes, kids being the silly fools they are - children do not learn better by being wrapped up in cotton wool, and having everything someone else considers “immoral” being censored out of their life. The duty is not upon the public services - but rather the parent. to ensure that their child is mature enough to handle such instances, some children can handle it - proving that it can be done. If other children cannot handle it - then it is not because of society, or the exposure, but rather how well the parent has done their job.
First of all, our significant others are not our partners, but either a husband or wife (opposite sex only) in the sacrament of marriage. Partners are for business arrangements and at times to help pay the bar bill on drunken binges.
