True Story. A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, say no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholicism is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshiped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too.

If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. It doesn't matter if you're catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness.

But I wouldn't have just left. I would have given said teacher a piece of my mind and probably even went and reported her. That's a clear case of discrimination.

This might be kinda random, but can I be your friend?

I go to a catholic school, and I am catholic myself, but I happen to be bi. I think that's terrible what the teacher did, but many people are like that. My parents in particular don't know half of the stuff about me, and if the did, they would probably disown me. Heh... And most of the teachers in my school are so open.

Of course you can be my friend! *smooch*

And you know, I just can't understand how the pope can proclaim tolerance towards people with other religions but can't do the same about people whom the nature gave other sexual orientations :(
