Sydney Archbishop backs gay ban - Political Reforms
Wednesday, April 16th, 200815/4/08
The Anglican Archbishop of Sydney Peter Jensen has backed a Brisbane school’s decision to turn down a request by gay students to bring male partners to a school dance. A number of Anglican Church Grammar School’s 215 Year 12 students want to take their gay partners to their end-of-year dance on June 19. However, under current policy, they may only attend the ball with a female partner. Dr Jensen said he supported civil rights for gay people but homosexuality in the eyes of the church was wrong.
