Catholic High School Defends Decision to Ban Same-Sex Prom Dates After Student Backlash

The high school said the policy has been in place for years.

ROCHESTER, Minnesota (LifeSiteNews) – Students at a Minnesota Catholic high school are upset that they and their peers cannot bring a homosexual partner as a date to prom.

Lourdes High School in Rochester issued a policy for its prom on May 14 that forbids students from bringing guests from other high schools unless their date is of the opposite sex.

“All student guest’s [sic] MUST be the opposite gender/sex of the Lourdes Student accompanying them,” a permission form states, according to a copy obtained by KTTC. This has caused trouble for some homosexual students and others who wanted to bring a same-sex friend from another school, according to the outlet.

One senior called the new policy “hurtful” while another student called it “homophobic.” It’s not clear from the KTTC article if either of the students quoted have same-sex attractions or if any students at the school have partners of the same-sex.

Went to a Catholic high school, the guys who turned out to be gay (they weren’t out at the time) took a girl. You don’t have to have sex with the girl you take. It’s a dance for crying out loud.

Those students are Christphobic. How hurtful and mean-spirited.

The Catholic Church is in a crisis situation. Many families with kids in these schools do not accept the teachings of the Catholic Church with respect to sexual morality, homosexuality, abortion etc., and even families that are trying have disobedient brats who adopt the morals and views they see on social media (cf. Kellyanne Conway’s kid). These pseudo-Catholics cry foul when something like this happens and someone at the school tries to remind everyone that it’s a Catholic school. The situation is unsustainable. And it doesn’t help that there are people in the Vatican dropping hints about jettisoning unpopular teachings and “getting with the times” on LGBT.

Easy enough to get around it if they are that desperate. Just more whiners needing to complain.

Same here. Thirty years ago, the gay dudes seemed to have no trouble all getting girls to take to dances. Hell, I’d venture to say that they even had an easier time scrounging up dates than some of us straights (as they were better dressed, and hung out with a lot of fag-hag girls with whom they enjoyed gossiping, shopping, smoking, fashion, etc.).

These leftist drones don’t actually care about being at prom with their same-sex partner except as a means to an end. They could trivially do that arranging that by two same-sex couples entering with opposite-sex partners, then those split inside the door to spend all their time at prom with whomever they like.

No, they want to win the leftist attention hog, wedge-issue lotto and get their names publicized.

If one took away the attention hog issue, one would have see the historically low norm of 2% of the population in that category as opposed to the 15% the left desperately tries to portray so as to craft a different society and achieve ever-widening, incremental concessions.

And the girls knew that the fag dates didn’t just have one thing on their minds.

It always seemed like the pretty boys. Only later you’d learn...”oh, I see”.

There was one guy I knew and I always thought he was all gussied up to impress the girls. Years later I saw him at a night club with a bunch of guys, he waived gayly at me and went to dance with the guys. That was my “oh, I see” moment.

To allow it would be sinful.

Consider that a lot of those "pretty boys" were abused as children and were probably still being abused by homo predators. That's why they ended up as they did. If they don't have strong male protectors, they are targets.

“It always seemed like the pretty boys.”

I remember one girl telling me her and her girl friends had a saying, “If is boy was too good looking to be true, he had to be gay”.
