The concocted word “gay” can mean just about a dozen things, including:
- that you experience same-sex attraction but you never act on it;
- that you repudiate your own same-sex attraction;
- that you want to act on these impulses in private; or
- that you are an activist pushing society in the direction of perversion, like this former teacher was.
The first two can be excused if the subject is sincere. The other conditions should disqualify him immediately.
It should have never got that far. If he was “openly gay”, it means that he was flaunting his unnatural lifestyle before innocent youngsters. Overt homosexuals have no business in a faith based school whose creed teaches that homosexual acts are intrinsically wrong and “disordered.” He should have never been hired.
