I attend a Catholic high school. One of the students tried to start a GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance). Our counselors and chaplain (in-school priest) approved. However, when they spoke to our principal, he rejected. He has a history of being homophobic in his comments and actions. He openly rejected the proposed group, as he claimed that the Catholic church would not allow such a sin. I think that the church's viewpoint is wrong. Is there action that I could take to make a stand?
I would also like to reduce the number of homophobic comments. Every day, I hear people calling this girl a 'f*g' and a 'd*ke'. I have confronted the administration about this, and they have not done a thing. This poor kid is being tormented daily, and nothing happens to end it. I have stood up for her, and gotten ridiculed myself.
By the way, I cannot send anything to the newspaper stating my stance. Immediately after this instance, the school added a clause that nobody may send a letter to the newspaper.
