Gay rights groups say they have purchased full-page advertisements opposing a Boulder Catholic school's decision to eject two children because their parents are a lesbian
couple.

DignityUSA, a gay rights group of Roman Catholics, and other groups are advertising in Sunday's Camera newspaper in Boulder, saying the school's decision is hurtful and damages the fabric of
the community. The groups say they have also purchased an ad in The Denver Post.

Archbishop of Denver Charles J. Chaput is defending the school's decision, saying Tuesday it's a "painful situation" but the decision is in line with church beliefs. Neither the parents nor the children have been identified.

Messages to the archdiocese Friday were not immediately returned.

    I guess the gays just dont get it do they? how dumb do you really need to be to see that being gay is a sin? and just the thought of the lust you have to have to act on it is a sin. not that sin it self is wrong, lol. our sins are already forgiven us. well except the ones that jesus christ himeself taught about.and this is one of them, lust

    you fricken religious freaks are the most hypocritical people on the planet. you have destroyed marriage all by yourselves. 60 percent of hetero marriages end in divorce, and many more are just shams.
    gay is not a choice. if it were then there would have to be an option, and there isn't. unless you want to admit that every human being is bisexual and has the choice to decide which way they feel more comfortable.you sickos think more about gay sex than gay people do. Sounds like a personal problem to me. if you get sick thinking about gay sex here is a hint...STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!!! now kindly shove your fairy tale bible up your rear end. oh and have a lovely day. I am going to go have some hot gay sex now.

    It's a PRIVATE  ..CATHOLIC.. school.
    a) That goes against the CATHOLIC beliefs.
    b) WHY would anyone want to force upon a CHILD to be put in that position. dealing with all the issues that WILL come his/her way ..? IMO - That would be cruel to force a child to deal with life in a community where they will not be accepted.
    Pick a different school. Public school ...Private Christian school ..Private, no religion ...There are many options.
    To me the parents where out of line to even consider this and more then likely wanted some big issue started over it. OF COURSE, the child schould not go there. It is not best for the child.
    Clearly, a PRIVATE school has the right to accept or decline enrollemnt.
    Our govnt have already been taking away so many of our rights ...and no one seems to care! WAKE UP ...I for one, am tired of ..and very worried.. about what is happening to our rights as Americans. They are slowly but surely being taken away from under or very noses ...For all sorts of excuses anyone can come up with.
    The only right these parents are entitled to is the public school system.
    JUST LIKE YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE GAY ...CATHOLIC ..or ANY.. private school has the right to foster their values. That's why parents send their children to the various private school they choose. They represent THEIR values and beliefs and want their children to learn the same beliefs. that is taking every other child/parents right to choose away from them.
    NO WAY!!!!! This should have never even made the new or be an issue!
    WAKE UP AMERICA and remember what this country was orignally based on.
    It's called freedom.
