Religious have no right to judgment on sexual orientation or gender identity : Comments

By Robin Banks, Anja Hilkemeijer and Rodney Croome, published 6/12/2018

This means, for example, that a Jewish school can turn away a teacher if they are Christian, but not just because they are gay, transgender, Aboriginal or in a wheelchair.

Hasbeen,

You asked me if I could see a gay teacher at an Islamic
school?

It may come as a surprise to you but gay people exist
everywhere. SBS News recently spoke to one current
teacher at an Islamic school in Melbourne on the
condition of anonymity, for both her and the school.
She believed she would lose her job if management
discovered she was a lesbian. It was a question of -
Don't ask, don't tell. Teachers teach Maths,
not "gay math"s. The same as gay doctors practice
medicine not "gay medicine". And so on.

Anyway regarding gay teachers in private schools -
I suspect that's the norm - it is a question of
don't ask, don't tell - unless the laws are changed
from what they currently are.

Muslim society is still by and large strongly patriarchal.
Patriarchy, by its nature extols masculinity. There's
no sin in appreciating male beauty. Apparently Muslim
societies have often acknowledged male relationships,
even if they disapproved. An old joke in Afghanistan
is that birds fly over Kandahar with one wing held
under their tail - as a precaution. (smile).

//do you really think you would find a homosexual teaching in a Muslim school?//

Pretty sure Hasbeen is one of those people who believe homosexuality is a Western invention from the latter half of the 20th century. I suppose one could try to correct him, but this is Hasbeen we're talking about so there seems little point.

People into moral perversion teaching kids and preaching to others. Dear oh dear! What a sick generation.

runner,

Yes, religious schools have a lot to answer.
As not only the victims of child sexual abuse
can testify but all the people who are leaving
and have left the institutions in droves.
Hatred, brainwashing,
judgement of others, discrimination, no longer
works in this day and age. People expect better.
Just as they do of their politicians.

Oh Foxy you call paedophile wrong. Amazing. I wonder where you got your moral base. btw a large chunk of these paedophile priests were homosexuals. Oh that does not fit your narrative.
