Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Pride flags on its campus.Bishop Robert J. McManus of the Diocese of Worcester announced on Thursday that the Nativity School of Worcester is "prohibited" from branding itself as Catholic moving forward.This comes at a time when the majority of American Catholics support gay marriage, a percentage that has continuously increased since 2006, according to Gallup, and Catholics across the nation are speaking out about the relationship between the BLM movement and the church, according to Catholic News."As Diocesan Bishop, it is my sacred duty and inherent responsibility to determine when a school claiming to be 'Catholic' is acting in such a way that is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church and disregards my legitimate authority as the guardian and overseer of Catholic education in the Diocese of Worcester," Bishop McManus said in the statement on the Diocese of Worcester website."Despite my insistence that the school administration remove these flags because of the confusion and the properly theological scandal that they do and can promote, they refuse to do so.

Students at Yeshiva University in New York have tried for years to get their school to recognize an L.G.B.T.Q. student club, pushing back on the administration’s argument that its status as a Modern Orthodox Jewish school exempted it from the city’s human rights law. Last year, a group of students and alumni filed a lawsuit, and on Tuesday a state judge ruled in their favor, declaring that Yeshiva is not a religious institution and so must follow the law and recognize the club.

The Feeling singer Dan Gillespie Sells says his feelings – no pun intended – about the Pride flag are ‘complex’, but actually, they aren’t. The Everybody’s Talking About Jamie co-creator dreams of a time when the LGBTQ+ community no longer needs to use the flag as a symbol of their right to equality because, in this reality, they would have achieved it. It’s that simple. However, with the flag becoming such an ingrained part of the fight, would it be that easy to let go? This year marks the 50th anniversary of Pride Month, an event held annually for members of the queer community and their allies to celebrate their identities, accomplishments, and reflect on the struggle for equality. Perhaps at the heart of it all is the Pride flag, also known as the rainbow flag, which has become a well-known symbol of gay pride. It began with the traditional colours of the rainbow but, in 2022, now has various versions to truly represent the diverse family the LGBTQ+ groups have become. According to Queer In The World, there are currently more than 50 flags you might spot, though the number isn’t fixed as there may be multiple designs and variations for any particular flag. For example, there’s now the More Color More Pride flag, which was created in 2017 to add black and brown colour strips to the top of the flag.

Joe Biden launched his own plan to protect the health care of transgender youth after Republican Governor Ron DeSantis moved to end gender-affirming care for minors in Florida.On Wednesday, Biden will sign an executive order calling on the Department of Health and Human Services to clarify that federally funded programs are banned from offering conversion therapy and to take "steps to address the barriers and exclusionary policies" by expanding access to different types of health care and treatment.Conversion therapy, a practice seeking to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, is already banned in at least 20 states and Washington, D.C., according to the think tank Movement Advancement Project.Biden's move comes less than two weeks after DeSantis' administration asked the state board regulating doctors to ban Medicaid coverage for minors seeking transition-related care, which includes puberty blockers, hormone therapies or gender-reassignment surgery.DeSantis is among a string of Republican state officials who have restricted access to health care for transgender youth in recent months.Texas Governor Greg Abbott also stirred controversy in February for ordering the state department of family and protective services to investigate parents who provide their children with gender-affirming care.

The classic tale of enemies-to-lovers courtship in Regency-era England has been read, taught, adapted, and reimagined for two whole centuries, remaining largely unchallenged either because of the eternal truths therein, or because its ideals have remained aspirational to generations that have followed.
