“Green Bay, WI, Bishop David Ricken has just implemented a new policy in diocesan schools that, among other measures, hatefully bans trans students and staff from using their preferred pronouns, clothing, and bathrooms.
According to the Catholic LGBTQ organization New Ways Ministry, the policy also rejects the use of the words “lesbian” and “gay,” compares being queer to sexual abuse, and falsely accuses the LGBTQ community of trying to turn people gay.” 1
“The Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin, released a new policy regarding LGBTQ students in its Catholic Schools that equates being transgender to being sexually abused.
The Diocese, led by Bishop David Ricken, published the new gender policy last month in its Education Policy Manual for the 2022-2023 school year.” 2
