A Catholic diocese in Cleveland, Ohio, has issued restrictions on LGBTQ+ expression in dozens of schools.It says they are prohibited from expressing or celebrating LGBTQ+ identity in ways"that are contrary to the Catholic Church's teaching," including by displaying rainbow or pride flags and other symbols.
The policy also states that only pronouns that"accurately reflect a person's God-given biological sex" may be used. Nicknames that confuse or contradict the person's biological sex are banned. Everyone must also use the bathrooms that correspond to their"God-given biological sex," the policy states and no one can attend a school dance or event with a date of the same sex.
No person"may engage in so-called social transitions, surgeries, or medical treatments that seek to 'transition' the person to a sex or gender inconsistent with his or her God-given biological sex."Despite the policy's provisions, the diocese told News 5 that"each and every person is welcome and invited to be a part of the Church."Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb is among those who have criticized the policy.
