Pope Francis preaches tolerance, yet gay teachers like Mark Zmuda get fired

Have you heard the one about the gay teacher who was being fired for marrying his male partner, then was told he could possibly stay on if he got a divorce? This may sound like a joke – in theory the church is equally opposed to both divorce and gay marriage – but it was an actual suggestion made to Mark Zmuda, a vice principal at the Eastside Catholic School in Seattle, Washington, who was being forced to resign from his job a few weeks ago when school administrators learned that he is both married and gay. Zmuda didn’t go for the divorce option and was terminated despite a barrage of protest led by the school’s mostly Catholic student body.
