Cleveland Catholic Diocese Implements Controversial Policy on Sexuality and Gender Identity

The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland has implemented a new policy regarding "issues of sexuality and gender identity," which has sparked controversy among Catholics and the LGBTQ+ community. The policy prohibits gender-affirming care, the use of pronouns different from one's biological sex, and attending events with same-sex individuals who are not casual acquaintances. It also requires staff members to inform parents if a child may be transgender. While some Catholics support the policy as a way to uphold Catholic values, others criticize it as harmful and fear it may lead to physical harm for children. The LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland sees the policy as a setback in creating an inclusive community.
