A prestigious Christian school’s Board of Trustees have been told to attend a human rights awareness course after sacking a netball coach because he was gay, the Christchurch Star has reported today.
Middleton Grange School also had to apologise to the 28-year-old and pay him a confidential reparation sum. Yesterday, the man broke his silence about the situation, hoping it would prevent the same thing happening to someone else.
“It’s hard enough to go through finding yourself and accepting yourself and being `out’ in the first place,” said the man, who wished to remain anonymous. “Having to go through discrimination doesn’t help.”
The man said he was trying to look at the positive and that the apology from the school had given him closure.
How’d they know he was gay? Because he coached netball?
At least the girls weren’t in any danger. It isn’t the gay teachers you should be worried about it is the creepy pedos anyway.
I mean what where they thinking? Really? Just because you are christian doesn?t mean you have to be naive and bigoted.
