My friend was fired today. Because he is gay.
Last edited Sat Dec 7, 2013, 12:57 AM - Edit history (2)
My friend is a professor at a Catholic preparatory school, of which he is also an alumnus. He has been with his partner for 12 years and, while they had a committment ceremony, they were never able to officially marry due to the fact it wasn't legal. Well, New Jersey finally made it legal. He just got his marriage license. Upon learning of this, the school fired him.
I am so mad for him. He is extremely well liked. He loved that school. He loved that school before I even went there. I attended grade school with him and he used to talk about the Prep school often and how he loved it and hoped to attend. He's a brilliant mind, his students loved him, and he had great pride in that school. It's so hurtful that he was good enough for him all these years until today, when the only thing that changed was that he is married to another man.
And it sucks because he can't do anything about it because it's a private, Catholic institution...right?
Edited to add: He lives in NJ and is getting married there, but he teaches in Pennsylvania. As far as I know, the laws in this state don't do much to protect LGBTQ folks and our Governor Gashole is in no rush to do anything positive.
So, you don't like it when psycho priests molest boys, but you DO want man-lovers TEACHING Catholics. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024143679)
I don't understand why any self-respecting lover of the LGBTAEIOU lifestyle would want one of them working for the enemy.
Isn't this pretty much the same thing as a liberal union-lover getting canned from the WalMart front office? Shouldn't the DUmmies be telling this moron that the teacher is better off now that he doesn't have to work for an institution that HATES him?
Oh well...can never figure the DUmmy mindset.

I'm a big fan of Dave Foley, but doesn't the gay guy on the right look just like him?

That looks like the exact same color I painted one of my rooms (benjamin moore clear spring green).
No way would I hang red drapes over that.

It's the same crap they pulled when gays weren't allowed in the military. Also the same tactic Sandra Slut used when picking a university. They choose to go where their lifestyle is not condoned then make a stink about it.

He likely signed a morality clause. Usually that states the behavior expected so it's not a public institution--it'sprivate ie people send their kids there for a reason and like it or not some people do not agree in normalcy of homosexuality.

More likely it got canned for some other reason and it's just trying for victimhood.

One of my brothers attended this school back in day. There was definitely quite a few flamboyant faculty members back then as well. However, the school isn't going to make an issue of it unless the teacher openly endorses the lifestyle to the students. Obviously, the teacher couldn't bring his boyfriend to prom. Likewise, if a teacher was ever stupid enough to actually get "married" then he is going to get fired.
All Catholic school teachers sign a morality clause. You can get fired for having a baby out of wedlock and you can get fired for pretending your sexual deviancy is a "marriage."

There go those damn Catholics. Being all Catholic again.

So, do the DUmmies think that I, a firm Catholic, should be able to work for a gay "rights" organisation despite my open opposition to gay "marriage"?

You might as well want to work in an abortion factory. Makes about as much sense.

Dummies have no concept of "freedom of contract." This teacher signed a contract which included provisions about morality. The teacher now claims that he doesn't remember such a provision.
I've ventured on a couple of the Philly.com articles about the story, and apparently many of his students are in full support of his lifestyle.
What's the point of sending your kids to Catholic school when they completely disregard its teachings?

I also don't see why the gay liberal isn't getting a TWP from the DUmmy cops: Teaching Without Public. Aren't private schools evil? Don't they siphon funds from public schools?
Why can't this teacher go work in a REAL (ie, public) school, contribute to the teacher's union, and be a good German? That way, he can practically bugger his lover in front of the
kids and not get fired.
Molestzel Warrior - can you help us out here?

Yup. If one of the single teachers at my daughter's private, unaffiliated Catholic school got pregnant, she'd get canned in an instant. (The three married teachers, however, would get a pass, as they should.)

Infiltrate it...twist it...change it to fit their own perceived views (IOW, destroy it).
Isn't that what DUmmies and their fellow travelers attempt to do with just about everything?

That's their strategy for everyone's pants, too.

4. Sorry for your friend
One day these stories will be history, hopefully.
Yeah, dipshit, right after the government passes a law that says I can come and go in your private home as I please. ...because it's the same damn thing, Prog.

She is Catholic and takes charity from the Catholic church.

Exactly their strategy. It's a shame their students are so brainwashed by Colbert/Stewart/HBO.
I guess the problem lies in the fact that our Catholic leaders like Cardinal Dolan don't even try to fight back against the propaganda. He's busy yucking it up with Obama.

Like I mentioned, this prep school is pretty close to me and I am becoming disgusted by the amount of alums and students condemning this teacher.
Has anyone been able to figure out progressive Catholics? If we are to believe in Jesus, we must recognize that he was an Orthodox Jew, so he would be against same-sex marriage. Likewise, in Paul's letter to the Corinthians, he outright condemns homosexuality.
So if these progressive Catholics are willing to disregard the beliefs of Jesus, as well as one of his primary messengers, what is the point of calling yourself a Catholic?
Why not form their own religion where they can worship Harvey Milk or Matthew Shepherd?
