At least two employees of a Christian-oriented suburban theater company have resigned in recent weeks, citing its policy toward LGBTQ+ students.
The exits from Cary-based Christian Youth Theater Chicago, which offers workshops and puts on shows starring students ages 6-18, were prompted by a document issued by CYT Chicago’s board aligning itself with “traditional beliefs of God, the Bible, sexuality, marriage, human identity and gender.”
The statement ordered, “Speech and behavior of students, parents and staff must comply with a biblical standard, at least while on site and for the duration of the CYT Chicago programs in which these families and students are participating.”
