why the teachers hated me at school #lgbt #queer

[catsare-cute]

why is everyone ignoring the fact that it said “saw” me, which means she didn’t act in this way, she isn’t disrespecting shit, she’s literally making a comment on how trying to create a safe space in her school for lgbt people was looked down upon by her teachers.

People say “don’t make being gay your personality” but then proceed to group us all together with stereotypes and make jokes about our behavior. Ex: my coworkers used to make gay jokes about me literally every day I worked. It’s not always that we’re making it our personality, it’s just what other people notice first.

i’m catholic and have gone to catholic school, and i agree with what she did. how exactly is she “disrespecting the religion”, by wanting a safe space for herself and other students? and who is she hurting by doing this?

edit: everyone who is in my replies arguing w/ me, i've heard all of your arguments before and i rlly don't care! you won't change my mind, your arguments are dumb, so pls stop cluttering up my notifs. thx!

Ok everyone in the comments is being HELLA mean at her for no reason so... it's not a matter of being "respectful of the environment or the religion". Most likely she was put there by her parents and its not like she CHOSE to be gay so she was stuck in a terrible environment. My guess is she was probably done with the homophobia and decided to fight back. I find it brave honestly!

I got expelled because I refused to apologize for being gay to the whole school

she isnt making being gay her personality, she went to a CATHOLIC school. imagine if having blue eyes was something your school taught you was a bad thing and scolded you for. you'd want to make a blue eyes club.

"noooo but she's mocking the catholics!!!" she is not mocking catholics, she's mocking that specific school

To be honest, it’s quite surprising to see so many comments against this post.

As someone who is queer and was sent to a private catholic school (did not have a choice), I understand what she means by creating a gay club.

She just wanted a safe space for like-minded individuals to attend, because kids who are forced to go (like myself) can feel very alone. Especially during a formative age when someone is starting to realize they’re queer without having anyone to ask questions without being shamed. I would have loved to have had a LGBTQ+ club at my school. She isn’t forcing anyone to go.

I don’t really see it as disrespectful to a religion, because let’s say there was a bible study club or something like that at a school that was very accepting of queer youth, that would not be a problem.

i went to a catholic school and the teachers heard i was gay and they hated me so much

[Mashimush]

Why is everyone hating on this? It’s just someone expressing their past? If someone more famous posed this y’all would be nice!

Edit: y’all are SOOOO different for replying with ‘nO i WoUlDnT!’

Nothing wrong with finding yourself while helping others find themselves😊

[kellenproctor]

Can I just say that I go to a catholic school and the teachers don’t really give a fvck about children and teens sexualities? Like they really only care that the kids are safe and being educated…..

I kinda remember when a catholic school expelled a girl for being "lesbian". What had happen was her family uploaded a picture of her which she had a rainbow sweater and a rainbow theme cake. And even though it was just her celebrating her birthday her school saw this as her "coming out" and expelled her. She wasn't even lesbian and you shouldn't expell a student because of being gay. Anyway she won the lawsuit not the school.

Lots of people at Catholic schools aren’t there bc they are actually religious. If you are gay in an unwelcoming environment, I believe it’s perfectly fine to create a safe space for people. As long as you don’t push the topic onto people you know have a very drastic opinion on it then you, I think it’s good. Just don’t start discussions every lesson for the sake of provoking your teachers, that doesn’t help anyone.

I noticed a lot of comments saying Keara was disrespecting a religion, but in reality that school, who was teaching that religion, wasn't being kind and open to them and other LGBTQ+ kids. Keara is saying that's how the school viewed them, and to make the school more accepting, the club was created. The Bible never mentions anything about homosexuality, but it was due to mistranslations and misinterpretations that people think homosexuality is a sin.

Edit: I wanna address all the comments, first, the English translated version of the Bible has not been properly translated as I've stated before. Just because it's a Catholic school does NOT mean teachers should be hating or disrespecting students because of their identity. I am also going to an accepting, wonderful Catholic school so I've seen it first hand, my teachers and counselors are wonderful and supported and explicitly explain how the Bible has been mistranslated and is a bit out of date in today's society. (I personally am not Catholic nor Christian).God should love everyone, no matter who they are. And if He doesn't, then I respectfully disagree with this type of religion.

I was the reason 2 schools made an lgbtq club. I blew the doors open for the children to come out and feel safe 😂 you're an icon!
