'They’d all put my children in danger — and the school had done nothing to make us aware.'
This Parent Is Speaking Out After Their Children Were Outed By Their School. Here's What They Wish More Parents UnderstoodImagine you're a parent, and you go online one day to discover that other parents in your community have been talking about your family online for an entire month, all behind your back.
Mortellus discovered the backlash over their kids after it had been going on behind their back for weeks. They told BuzzFeed,"I became aware of it on June 3, after it had been happening in the public sphere for over a month and behind the scenes for even longer. When I saw it all… I sat there quietly for a moment, feeling like my stomach bottomed out."
I think the biggest thing is that while we chatted about how the grammar school didn’t have a gender-neutral or ADA-compliant family bathroom, it's a bit of a non-issue altogether because the youngest students already have a single-stall bathroom in each classroom. I wonder if it’s a surprise to the most hateful of those who attacked my family that their children already are, and always have been, using a gender-neutral bathroom.
Mortellus also has thoughts on how Christianity has been invoked against their family."It’s because, for some people, the right to religious freedom is only for those who share their beliefs. This is about protecting 'Christian' ideas about gender and sexuality, and we do not share those beliefs. We are not Christian. Our faith protects the right to express oneself as we see fit—not as imposed upon us by someone else’s god.
