Agree that another choice, (other than transferring or sticking it out and feeling guilty and conflicted) is to take on the issue, in a way that is right for you. The Catholic church does teach compassion. This is directly from the Catholic Catechism: “They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.” You and your friends could challenge your school’s responses if they are not in line with the beliefs and philosophies of the church. The school may have a LGBTQ student alliance club that you and your friends could look into, to be allies and try to improve the situation.
Good luck. These are not easy choices.
