For some reason this hasn't grown legs. It's been a week or so since it first came out but the only place I've seen anything other than locally is the Huffington Post. It so happens to be my Alma Mater.

I don't think what happened is right, I hope she wins. Here's the latest.

She knew the Church's stand on this topic. Why should she be an exception?

I saw that when it came out.
I'll bet the church doesn't want publicity.. and also doesn't want her teaching... and will just offer her money.

And why should she put up with such archaic intolerant bullish¡t? It's time to realize that people are people — period. And that includes the Diocese. Time to get w/the human program.

I guess the point is they are picking and choosing which morals clauses to uphold. For example they do nothing about teachers that get a divorce or have extramarital affairs, which are also against Catholic doctrine.

The woman was divorced while she was a teacher, but was not let go for that.

because up-tight parents wouldn't have an

Just so I have this correct: She's gay and yet still took a job at a religious institution which frowns on her orientation? Sounds like her choice: archaic and intolerant bullsh!t comes with this particular job -- if she didn't want to put up with it, she shouldn't have applied in the first place ...

Yeah, the church are hypocritical dicks, but still I have to say I don't have a great deal of sympathy for her situation ...

No, she was married to a man when she took the job 19 years ago. Like I mentioned above she got divorced while she was working there, but they did not fire her for that even though divorce is also against Catholic doctrine.
