The petition was created with the goal of getting St Pius High School to allow Damian to walk in his rapidly approaching May 22 graduation in the black cap and gown for male students.
Here's what I posted when I signed the petition, which has over 20,000 signatures at the time I compiled this post
:
This is a no brainer situation. Damian identifies as a male, has been presenting as one for over a year,and his classmates, faculty and family recognize him as one.
You only graduate from high school once, so why not let Damian walk in the black male gown?
Why not indeed, St Pius High School? Your transphobic resistance to doing the decent and right thing and trying to hide behind the policy excuse only makes you look more bigoted to the rest of the world and reinforces the disturbing decade long pattern of the Roman Catholic Church being hostile to trans people.
TransGriot Update: The petition reached its goal of 25,000 signatures and is now shooting for 30,000.
