Homophobic Catholic Schools: In whose interest?

[outofthisworldgurl]

The irony here is that quite a few men of the gay community are gay because Catholic Priests molested and raped them as children!

[hiroshi2020]

Not allowing a supposed "Gay Straight Alliance", is the right thing for the school to do. This school is obviously intact with and upholds Catholic teachings and morals, which not many schools do today.

[gulbirk]

whats wrong now (in the present western world) is that the belief is being "changed". So many theists choose only to "change" the belief, instead of asking themselfe this """Why would a God even be homophobic""":

[Uhlbelk]

Sounds like canada needs a little more separation of church and state. I think the catholic religion has the right to disagree with homosexuality no matter how ridiculous and unreasoned the belief is, but not if they are doing it on the public dime.

[tubetib]

I have no sound when switching to the guy inside.

[YesIamJames]

What is it with Catholics comparing people to Nazis? They really make me sick.

[rkyeun]

@YesIamJames

Catholics comparing people to Nazis is a form of self-parody.

[Prometheus46715]

@YesIamJames Guilty conscience.

[gothatfunk]

i simply can't grasp why these folks fear gays so much.

[simplic1000]

@gothatfunk

They typically think homosexuality is "like" paedophilia. I know it's ridiculous, but that is what I hear over and over whenever bigoted people think that I'm a safe audience for their prejudices.

[AcidRain64]

As others have mentioned, the voice changer on the last speaker is a bit heavy -- to the point of being unintelligible. You might want to try some other effects or tweak the settings a bit.

Also, (very minor) you said "LGBT gay", which is redundant considering the G in LGBT stands for gay ;-P

[arachnophile01]

@AcidRain64 Perhaps it was meant as a translation, although the acronym is in comon usage, as in LGBT( Gay).

[HonestDiscussioner]

You go, Michael.

[ace118]

Michael, there's something wrong with the audio. It seems to be only coming out of the left channel.

[Ibis333]

I hope you're able to fix the audio of the informant in future videos. I couldn't make out a word of what the person was saying.

[waksibra]

too long intro.

[BoredomCorner]

I completely agree with you. Given the suicide rates in LGBT teens, abandoning them to be bullied is more "anti-Christian" than embracing them.

[freetheworldof]

Is it just me? The sound dropped from 1.04 to 2.08

[SixxHundredSixtySixx]

@freetheworldof i guess they change some setting since his outside, then inside :P

[freetheworldof]

@SixxHundredSixtySixx I realise that. Perhaps I should have been clearer in my comment. I get no sound whatsoever. Even through my power amp at full.

[SixxHundredSixtySixx]

@freetheworldof oh now i get it.....the sound moves to my left headphone :P

[freetheworldof]

@SixxHundredSixtySixx Mmmmm strange, I get nothing on either channel.

[freetheworldof]

@SixxHundredSixtySixx Derrrrr Don't I feel a fool. I regularly switch between headphones & speakers. I failed to push the speakers jack fully in. RED face here!

[SixxHundredSixtySixx]

@freetheworldof that is absolutely hilarious! :D

[freetheworldof]

@SixxHundredSixtySixx It's even funnier, when you consider that I am an IT engineer! Perhaps I should retrain :P

[SixxHundredSixtySixx]

@freetheworldof we live in an strange world dont we ? xD

[bbb695]

@freetheworldof I get the same problem, the sound between 1:06 and 2:08 is garbled and very very quiet.

[freetheworldof]

@bbb695 Even allowing for my 'red face' moment, yes there is definately a problem with the sound at that time period.

[sciencemile]

Hmm, Natasha Girard methinks <.<

[sasugakirin]

Why did you specify "LGBT gay" when discussing the suicide rates? Is there some evidence that trans teens are less likely to commit suicide than gay teens? I thought it was actually the reverse.

[MichaelPayton67]

@sasugakirin

LBGT is Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered

[sasugakirin]

@MichaelPayton67

Yes, I know. But you specified "LGBT gay" rather than just saying "LGBT". It sounded like you were saying that the suicide rates of gay teens were more than bi or trans teens.

[darthdidious]

@sasugakirin

No it didn't. He misspoke. Simple as that.

[sasugakirin]

@darthdidious Which would be why I asked for clarification.

[MichaelPayton67]

@sasugakirin

Yes I did mis-speak. I'm used to saying TBLGAY which stands for Trans bi lesbian gay association of York, because that is the Queer Positive campus group. Sorry for the confusion

[sasugakirin]

@MichaelPayton67

No problem, then. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

[bradmanthethird]

@MichaelPayton67

Did you already know that for the better part of a decade now Ontario's Catholic school system has been found by the UN human rights commission to be in violation of freedom of religion on the grounds that government funding is offered ONLY to catholic schools?

[MichaelPayton67]

@bradmanthethird

oh yeah! for sure we are going to be talking about this in the interviews



[arsenelupin123]

@bradmanthethird

Are all provinces but Quebec still funding confessional schools?

[bradmanthethird]

@arsenelupin123

I think actually just Ontario and Alberta but not sure about that.

[Divergedwoods]

Thumbs up, this sounds like an awesome project.

[Hisseefits]

Pro gay groups like nazi affiliated groups? Wasn't it the vatican that helped some nazis escape after world war 2? Pot meet the kettle. What an ass.

[Hereticbooks]

Very important topic. Thanks for posting.

[MarkLucasTube]

Good

[JaysThoughts]

How about we stick to the philosophy.

[MichaelPayton67]

@JaysThoughts

This series will be loaded onto another channel, don't worry we will return to philosophy shortly

[piprod01]

@MichaelPayton67

Then where can I watch it!?

[MichaelPayton67]

@piprod01

We'll be posting the videos within a week and I will upload a video to point the way don't worry ;)

[michaelsoo]

@MichaelPayton67 Looks interesting Mike. Quick question since I am not aware of this until the video; what stance has the Ontario government given since there are obvious conflicts between Catholic ideology and the stance of rights within the province, which are complicated by the constitutional mandate to fund these school boards.

[Pushtrak]

@JaysThoughts "We"? What is your input in the video making process?

[JaysThoughts]

@jussts I don't think viewer feedback is a bad thing.

[jussts]

@JaysThoughts Nor do I... but you didn't actually give any.

[AtheistAltar]

@JaysThoughts Applied philosophy is the best philosophy :)

[Wrath0fKhan]

Besides the importance of the underlying message, the the script and editing deserve much praise, too...

[DeverHB]

Very interested in watching these, and I second Makingthemetalband's comment.

[MakingTheMetalBand]

Will be interesting. I would suggest if possible to reduce the effect on the insider's voice. It was a bit hard to understand. Or add subtitles?

[MichaelPayton67]

@MakingTheMetalBand

I think we can add subtitles. The issue is that "Deep Cross" is a Queer member of the Catholic School Board and is extremely scared to speak out... we had to do as much as possible to mask identity.

[piprod01]

@MichaelPayton67

It might just be easier, clearer, and more anonymous to get an "actor" (which could mean anyone else) to reenact the interview than to disguise the insider's actual voice (?).
