"In his words: Allan Michael Marrero thanked his husband Matthew "for not allowing me to give up on myself." "Thank you, I love you.""
"The women's college has allowed trans women to apply since 2015, which the Education Department now says is a violation of Title IX, which bans discrimination on the basis of sex in education. The administration argues that the law allows for single-sex institutions but not colleges that refuse to admit people because of their "subjective gender identity.""
""I cannot ignore the scars I carry. I have witnessed the devastating effects of 'conversion therapies' and the break-up of families, which felt like an attack on God's sensitive and blameless creation. These experiences deeply hurt, because they target the inherent dignity of a person who simply bears the love of another of the same gender," one gay, Portuguese man quoted in the report said."
""As far as I know, it's the first time that in any official publication of the Vatican, they've included witnesses and testimonies and stories from LGBTQ Catholics in any kind of detailed way," said Fr. James Martin of the queer Catholic group Outreach."
Allan Michael Marrero thanked his husband for not allowing him to give up on himself. A women’s college has allowed trans women to apply since 2015, but the Education Department says this violates Title IX, which bans discrimination on the basis of sex in education. The administration argues that single-sex institutions are allowed, but colleges cannot refuse admission based on “subjective gender identity.” The administration has increased investigations and lawsuits against schools accommodating trans students, including many investigations in Illinois. A gay Portuguese man described scars from “conversion therapies” and family breakups, framing them as attacks on inherent dignity. Vatican materials included detailed witnesses and stories from LGBTQ Catholics, and Fr. James Martin said it was the first such inclusion in an official Vatican publication.
