Hi guys. I go to a catholic school and the archdiocese of my school has decided to fire our swim coach and vice principal simply because he married the man of his dream. This is a picture of the 200+ students who have decided to have a sit in, they are telling us that being gay and gay marriage is different and that there is nothing our administration can do. Now I don’t know if you support gay marriage or not but it is wrong to fire someone because of who they love. We need change, please spread the word. Maybe we can change all schools because I will not stand for this.
our protest is not over for the moment but I would appreciate if you would sign this petition

there are more of course, but I cannot tell you how much this means. we got three other catholic schools to sit with us and two of the surrounding public schools had people cut classes to join us
if we get enough people to sign this petition we can make the archdiocese change. we my not be able to get our vice principals job back but we will be able to prevent things like this in the future.
Come on guys I’ve seen pictures of puppies get more notes than this
Eastlake is totally backing Eastside Catholic 110%
As someone who went to a Catholic school, I am 100% behind you guys!
Is the school even allowed to do that? Cuz I’m pretty sure that’s discrimination and that’s illegal.
