Just out of curiosity, and because this is a concern for my future children, have any of you had issues with your children of gay parents being allowed to attend christian or catholic schools in the states? My partner and I were both privately educated through both Lutheran and Catholic schools, and want the same for our Children. A nagging concern of mine is that we will face a great deal of discrimination when it comes time for us to search for schools. I am interested to hear your experiences, especially if you live in the south.
