You might make sense debating their beliefs about gayness, but accusing them of being bigots is insanity; surely they should make sure that those seeking to be part of their group abide by their beliefs.
Finally, someone with some sense. You can debate their beliefs about homosexuality, but it seems awful self-righteous and presumptuous to label people bigoted just because they disagree with a particular lifestyle choice. I'm really shocked that there are so many people who just can't comprehend that there's a large part of America that finds the gay lifestyle something immoral and/or unpleasant (especially when their rebuttals to this view have no substance). This school has certain beliefs, they work to ensure that those beliefs are followed.

Ridiculous things like this (which seem to occur every day) really tarnish the image of Christianity.
Acually, it's nothing like not allowing a kid to attend because their adopted parents are black. Being black is not a lifestyle choice, being gay is.
