Of course, but she would really have to mean it. Stop living the lesbian lifestyle. Since she isn't Catholic I don't think she would want to do that though.

The ministers son at my Baptist high school was forgiven for impregnating a girl. Twice.

What is a "lesbian lifestyle"?

Is your lifestyle based on the minuscule amount of time YOU spend having sex?

MY lifestyle is the same as any other mom/housewife. Sorry, but I don't live my life based on what I do, behind closed doors, for a fraction of a percent of my life.

A lesbian lifestyle is defined as being female and choosing to be gay.

Yet there is absolutely no reference at all to lesbians in the Bible.

While some people will cherry pick the Romans 1:26 verse out of it's cultic ritual sex context to use against lesbians, even the early church fathers didn't see it as being about women having sex with women, but women having anal sex with men.

This was how the early church fathers like Augustine (354–430 C.E.) , Clement of Alexandria (150-215 A.D) and Anastasius (about 400 A.D) saw it:

Augustine:
"But if one has relations even with one’s wife in a part of the body which was not made for begetting children, such relations are against nature and indecent. In fact, the same apostle earlier said the same thing about the women, For their women exchanged natural relations for those which are against nature (Rom 1:26).

Augustine, Marriage and Desire 20.35 (trans. Roland Teske; ed. John E Rotelle; Answer to the Pelagians, II; New York: New City Press, 1990), 75-76.


The Greek also says nothing at all about the women having sex with 'each other'.

διὰ τοῦτο παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς εἰς πάθη ἀτιμίας αἵ τε γὰρ θήλειαι αὐτῶν μετήλλαξαν τὴν φυσικὴν χρῆσιν εἰς τὴν παρὰ φύσιν

No. Neither is a protected class like race, religion, age, gender etc. Haven't we been through all this before?

Like ignorance, bigotry and prejudice? Why?

I guess I don't live the "lesbian lifestyle" as I didn't CHOOSE to be gay.

I wonder who wrote the obit. If it was her, she felt she could be open about this. I assume she wasn't flaunting it at school but people must have known.

She should not have chosen to work for a Catholic school in the first place. Work is a huge part of life, why make it incompatible with our personal life and beliefs.
