BTW - saying "My significant other" only works if heteros say it too. Are you prepared to say it too when in front of any children? After all, it's the right thing to do, even if you're not a teacher, right?

Sure... what's so wrong about saying significant other to children? Or heck... do like I do at work, "That's not an appropriate conversation for work"... or what I say at work "None of your business" in a joking way. I keep personal and business separated, really not that complex.

Edit: All work places you go do have training videos now about how not to talk about sex at work. Teachers should be no different.



FYI - those training videos don't tell you to say 'significant other'. Wife or husband is totally appropriate and isn't all that personal.

BTW- The way you hedge your conversation at work, i bet they think you're gay, so it's kinda self defeating. And i don't believe for a second that you'd keep your *ahem* 'significant other' completely secret at work. No one does that, except gay people.... wait.....

It's a stupid thing to legislate, but technically they're saying not to teach the kids about gays until 9th grade. In and of itself this doesn't really bother me, but what happens if you have an openly gay teacher? Are they now forbidden from talking about themselves unless their students are in high school?



as opposed to an openly hetero talking about their sex life?
how many 6th grade teachers did you have that came in talking about their hot date the night before?
or having the balony pony tickle their mustache?

I know it's difficult, but try reading the rest of the thread. Azure summed it up two posts above you. Sexuality is not the same thing as sex. People express their sexuality in a million different ways every day and nobody gives it a second thought until their sexuality is incongruous with gender stereotypes. Then suddenly people puff up and complain loudly about how gays should just keep it in private.



whats the difference between openly hetero and openly gay?
is there such a thing as closet hetero?

when i grew up, the teachers taught. they didnt tell us about their boyfriends or girlfriends. we learned math and science or english.
at no point in any of my classes was teachers same sex (or opposite sex) relationship a part of the curriculum. i had teachers that i thought were inhuman dopplegangers or robots.

i dont understand how you can express being gay while you are busy teaching, or being hetero for that matter.
unless by openly gay you mean fabulous and proud with a serious lisp and a 2ft cushion of air between his loafers and the floor, but thats kind of stereotypical, dont you think?

I'm pretty sure some do, I'm always neat at work (dressed and my office area).

Why are conservatives so stupid? There must be some hidden evolutionary advantage of having them around.

If you want to get technical, much like God in that there is absolutely no physical proof he exists, there is no physical proof that sexual preference is anything but a choice. They aren't allowed to teach about God in school so...
