Student Defies Assignment to Criticize Homosexuality by Writing 127-Page Essay Celebrating Gay Marriage
In a remarkable act of defiance, a high school student named Jamie, attending a Catholic institution, was tasked with composing an essay that condemned homosexuality. Instead, Jamie produced an impressive 127-page treatise titled “Gay Marriage Is Fabulous,” arguing that the teachings of Jesus, God, and the Bible do not inherently reject gay marriage. The paper critiques the selective interpretation of scripture that has historically been used to exclude and discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals.
Sharing the experience on social media, Jamie recounted how the original assignment prompted students to select topics they felt passionate about, which included gay marriage, justified warfare, and nuclear armament. Jamie’s thesis posited that, were Jesus alive today, he would advocate for gay marriage. However, the teacher required Jamie to align the essay with the Church’s traditional views, which conflicted with the student’s beliefs.
Jamie noted the recent support from Pope Francis for inclusivity within the Church, highlighting the relevance of the topic. Although capable of writing from a contrary perspective, Jamie felt that it was critical to advocate for a viewpoint that resonated more authentically. The student aimed to use the paper as a resource for others, particularly to enlighten family members, such as a grandfather who is a devout Catholic and spent years in seminary.
With over 100 referenced sources, Jamie concluded that denying marriage rights based on outdated prejudices goes against the essence of God’s love. The essay emphasized that love transcends traditional definitions of marriage: “Marriage is not merely between a man and a woman; it’s about love and love alone. Love is neither wrong nor a mistake; it is simply love.”
This inspiring story not only showcases the courage to challenge institutional norms but also serves as a reminder that love should be celebrated, regardless of form.
