The Associated Press website reports today that a Roman Catholic school in Massachusetts has withdrawn its acceptance of an eight-year-old boy, because he has lesbian parents.
A parent of the boy said Rev. James Rafferty -- the parish priest at Saint Paul Elementary School in Hingham -- told her on May 10, 2010 that her lesbian relationship was "in discord" with Catholic Church teachings.
The woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns about the effect on her son, said she did not expect the church to approve of her relationship.
On the other hand, she said the school was discriminating against her son, and she does not feel that is right.

The little boy should not be punished because his parents are gay. He should be able to attend the school.
