Commentary: This one is yet another incident we have, and yet again it has something about sexual orientation. Read it.

Administrators long knew about his relationship, Griffin said, but were comfortable looking the other way. Going public and being legal was too much. It's the Catholic Church's twisted version of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Ironically, had Griffin taught in New Jersey, where he resides and plans to wed, he would be legally protected from discrimination based on his sexual orientation. Almost half of the states have enacted similar laws.
Pennsylvania, you will be shocked to learn, is not among them, though there is pending legislation. An earlier effort failed to make it out of committee.
