A gay teacher has been sacked from a Catholic school near Philadelphia
after applying for a marriage licence.
The Holy Ghost Preparatory School said Michael Griffin's attempt to wed
his partner "contradicts the terms of his teaching contract".
Mr Griffin said his relationship, which spanned the 12 years he had
taught Spanish and French at the secondary school in Bensalem, Pennsylvania,
had never been a problem before and the couple had mixed with staff
socially.
This is the latest example
that shows just how backward the Catholic Church is and just how outdated the
concept religion has become.
Mr Griffin, for comedic purposes I
do hope his first name is Peter, was in a relationship that everyone at the school
was aware of he was open and transparent about it, and even mixed socially with
other members of staff but the minute he announce he plans to marry his partner
he’s sacked? Doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
Looking at this from the other point
of view how can this school be ok with him being in a gay relationship but then
not be ok because he wants to marry his partner, either you’re against the
whole thing or you’re not, you can’t say we’re ok with it up to this point but
beyond that we’re not.
Anyway Mr Griffin did say that in addition
to, naturally, being very upset with the decision he hoped to find employment
soon.
Don’t worry Mr Griffin you will and this school
has actually done you a huge favour, as after they way they’ve acted why would
anyone want to work there.
