The Hidden War Against Gay Teens

Alex Morris wrote a great piece at Rolling Stone about what can only be called the social abuse being perpetrated at Christian schools.

You should know before you read the quote below that “they” refers to the leadership of one of the Christian schools discussed in Morris’ article:

"They found out she was a lesbian, and they made her go in front of the entire school and tell them," says Tristan. "And then they kicked her out the next day."

I was raised Catholic.

I know the Bible inside and out.

I read it twice, cover to cover, in addition to about 16 years of Catholic-affiliated schooling.

I know Catholicism and other forms of Christianity are sometimes mutually unintelligible.

But there is nothing, absolutely nothing, Christian about behavior like that by an adult authority figure.

To out someone against their will, before their peers, only to cast them out afterward, as a means to teach them they are inferior, is the very definition if evil.

It is petty, resentful and indicative of a disgusting superiority complex coupled with a total lack of moral intelligence.
