    Curious why a homosexual would apply at a catholic school knowing the church's stance on homosexuality.

    Should people not protest this? How would you respond?

    Well, I can remember in the 1970s when public schools (non church) routinely got rid of female teachers when they were pregnant.

    Nope. So long as we cling to the illusion of organized religion and the so-called separation of church and state, the Catholic School was within their rights to deny the job application. And no, this isn't the same bullshit as what's going on in Indiana because we're talking specifically about a religious institution.

    What do you think would happen if a homosexual applied for a job at a Muslim school? Would the outcome have been any different?

    I'm not defending the Catholic Church's position on this, I'm just saying this is the current reality of the situation. Get rid of organized religion and amend the constitution and maybe we can finally make some progress. :shrug:

    That was it. I think they did it even if they were married

    We seem to have a different definition of the word protest. I'm not saying anybody can force them to make a hiring decision, simply that displeasure with their medieval policies should be expressed, and loudly done.

    What about men who wear lesbian shoes?

    Also, I have no problem with an actual religious group having religious requirements though if they are for profit then they are just a business like any other and should be required to follow all laws. If they are religious and discriminate then there should be absolutely no tax deductions or tax free status. Forcing everyone else to subsidize bigots is morally wrong and the shit stains should have to pay their taxes like everyone else.

    I see the Greatest Troll in the History of Wordforge (TM) is feeling starved for attention again.

    Can the pictures of Big Black Cocks be far behind?

    I have to agree, why is he trying to sneak into the church's territory? Every time I hear of some teacher being fired for being gay it comes from a private school. What do these people expect? Maybe some of these gay teachers who are so awesome and want a job should go teach the kids who really need it in the poor areas. Really, you cannot keep your job in their prissy little club, and frankly you are giving gays a bad name because the idiots over there probably think it is some sort of conspiracy when it is really some dumbass trying to get bigots to like him. Stop trying to make the religious loonybirds accept gays into their church. They do not want you, stop degrading yourself and get a real job that does not involve zombie saviours made of wine and cheap crackers.

    While I agree that it was a bit of a silly choice, there is an argument that equality under the law should take precedence over religious policy.

    I agree.

    I'm fine with "noting for the record" that it's an unwise doctrine but I support their right to their doctrine within their own walls.

    then you are not paying sufficient attention.

    Still, it seems that going in and applying knowing the drill makes one suspect he was seeking to be an activist (in terms of challenging the exclusion) as much as being a teacher.

    Which is fine, I have NO objection to people trying to apply pressure to change the church's position - as long as it's not a change forced by the government. It's a bullshit doctrine but I don't want the government to have that much power.

    Who says it is my mission in life to correct their mistakes and make them see it? And then apply that to everyone. I am not saying you do not present your ideas, but who are you to determine what others should believe. If you go and put it in the church people's faces you have to be able to admit you are rude and a bit of a jerk. You do not want the government to have such power, yet you wish to wield it yourself. Perhaps that is dangerous.

    I'm not an atheist but this makes an excellent point:

    if they can expend the considerable effort that they do pushing "you shouldn't be gay!" then by the very same logic, others cqan spend a like effort saying "you are wrong on this point"

    I've never fucking got that.
    This whole notion of "you have freedom of speech....but hang your head, and say "yes sir", near religion".
    Um...why?
    I always got a "because I say so", on that.
    And they got everyone, even so-called progressive liberals to swallow it.
    And then religionists grew entitled to that un-earned silence from un-earned respect.
    And now that that silence is broken, they're flabberghasted.
    "WHAAAAT?!?! How daaaaaare yooouuu!!?? :drama:".
    Whaddya mean how?
    I just fucking do. :shrug:

    I am not saying you should not, just that you should admit that you are being a dick to them. It is when you forget you are choosing to be dickish to combat their annoyance that you become self rightious like they are. You see, they do not think they are being dicks. There are a few atheists who become just as bad as the christians they hate when they forget they are being dicks and sometimes you should turn off that behavior.
