A Florida Christian school says it will only refer to students by their sex assigned at birth, while those who are gay, transgender, or gender nonconforming 'will be asked to leave,' according to an email from the school obtained by NBCNews.
A religious school in Florida says it will only refer to students by their sex assigned at birth, while pupils who are gay, transgender or gender nonconforming"will be asked to leave the school immediately."
It continued:"We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender identity/lifestyle, self-identification, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery and pornography are sinful in the sight of God and the church ." "It is true that a student can not come to our school ... and be transgender or homosexual. This is rooted in scriptures," he said. "God has spoken on those issues, explicitly, aggressively, and we have had these policies in our school since day number one in the early 1970s. This is not new."He also said:"We are not a hateful group of people. We don't hate students who are of a particular persuasion.
He noted some students were uncomfortable with LGBTQ students"due to the faculty's influence." The man asked that his identity be withheld to protect his family from harassment. Bell, who is gay, said a school policy such as the one at Grace Christian School will lead to emotional trauma and could possibly lead to physical harm for some LGBTQ students.
