Christian Youth Theater Chicago staffers resign over new policy, say it hurts LGBTQ+ kids

Chicago Sun-Times: 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.”
