Five nuns who teach at Marin Catholic High School walked away from their classes last week to demonstrate their disdain for a national Day of Silence aimed at raising awareness about anti-lesbian and anti-gay language and bullying.

...

The sisters wrote: “We went home on Friday because what happened was inappropriate. We went home because we were made to feel uncomfortable and used for another’s agenda. We went home because the Catholic school and faith that we love was being compromised.”

Oh and they pulled out this nasty response too:

The nuns said they were not anti-gay, writing that: “Like the Church, the Sisters do not support any sexual activity — heterosexual or homosexual — outside of a marriage between a man and woman. However, we accept, respect, and treat with dignity all those who believe and/or act differently. We do not support bullying, bigotry, or any kind of prejudice.”

I would laugh if I hadn't seen some Catholic DUers invoke the exact same fucking ridiculous justification for bigotry.

"We're not bigoted - we merely oppose anyone having sex outside of a marriage between a man and a woman! Gay people can have all the sex they want in a heterosexual marriage, too! See how accepting and tolerant we are?"
