My kids went (and still go) to Catholic school because they’d have to bus 40 minutes away for a public school. We foolishly thought they were going to build a public school right beside the Catholic one when we bought the house. Neither believe in God, I’ve been an atheist forever (I also went to Catholic high school for the same reason).
Both have many gay friends, they’re in the theatre programs. They’ve got a pretty amazing support system as well. I like the principal at Notre Dame, he’s a good guy. My son only ever mentioned one whack job overly religious teacher. I can think of maybe one person they’re friends with that is a devout Catholic. Most go to the school because it’s the closest one. There is now a public alternative for high school, but, of course, it’s full and not accepting more students.
