The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland has started a petition to reverse the new policy set by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland regarding gender identity.
Due to this new policy, more than 80 schools in Northeast Ohio will have to follow “God’s Intentional Design.”The policy restricts students from things like gender transitioning and supporting the LGBT community. Additionally, schools will notify parents if their child is questioning their gender.
“We felt that … creating a petition allows a singular central place where people can amplify their voices, to contribute to a collective effort, to raise their voice,” said Matthew Graves, the director of development and communication at the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland.
