After a Catholic priest has a student remove her gay pride shirt, classmates step up to support her
At Father John J. “Jack” Lombardi’s direction, witnesses told The Brew, the school principal directed the homeroom teacher to tell the girl her shirt would have to come off. The teacher made her remove it in front of the other students as they stood at the back of the church.
“For the rest of the day, everyone was very angry about it,” said her 7th grade classmate, Dylan Hoffman, speaking at this morning’s mass.
He and dozens of other students, as well as parents and other adults, showed up at the church wearing rainbow-striped gay pride Covid masks. Many also wore white tee shirts with the rainbow-hued message, “I am a child of god.”
Hoffman said the students organized this show of support as a way to stand with their classmate whose mother is gay.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
