Gays and Catholic Schools.

The Los Angeles Times has this story about a gay couple in Orange County, informed by the Catholic school their sons attend that they are forbidden to "present themselves as a couple at school functions." Part of me is glad to see gay Catholics take on their church's homophobia. But at the same time, it's a private school premised on propagating the Vatican line, and if that's what the other parents want (which seems to be the case, although given the authoritarian nature of their church, who knows?), then why not send the kids to a nice inclusive private school instead?

I'm not being flippant; freedom of association means that the homophobes get to associate amongst themselves, too.
