my son's teacher is gay

Same here they do no one any harm they are People like us

I find it hard to believe that in this day and age that someone her age is shocked by anything. How can it possibly be that there is someone out there in USA still that has missed the memo that homosexuals are PEOPLE too.

I have a theory, but it's best if it's not mentioned here.

No, no... it's kinda mean or... something...

Well said Felix I have Friends that are Gay and they are lovely People

I agre with you =) Ui have gay friends and they are totally normal. I would not mind a gay teacher for my kids...

That is good a comment!

Being against gays isn't racism, but it's still prejudice and can lead to discrimination. Homophobia is a term often used.

Being Gay hasn't a thing to do with being a good teacher, I know some and they are the best. I'm sorry you fear this situation. First off Gay people are people too. I know that my being gay wasn't something I learned, I knew it from the start. Sorry if you don't believe this but if your kids are gay its not going to be because of the teacher. As a matter of fact it might be a good life lesson if they turned out to be that way. We must learn to have faith in life and that god will lead us down the proper path for our life. Awful hard to see the path if your too busy watching everyone else's for them now.

Excellent response! You are so right. You shouldn't judge a teacher or anyone at that on their sexuality.

I think people can be conservative without being so bigoted. I'm not conservative, but my girlfriend is and she's very open about everyone.

I totally agree

i don't agree with either of you, cuz you just missed the point. the teacher may be gay, but surely the school board was sensible enough to hire him cuz he is a good teacher? teachers have a moral code to stick to and keep to. just because he is gay doesn't mean he is gonna fondle your kid. statistics actually show that most paedophilic activity is performed by heterosexuals, not homosexuals.

Ummm... Who said he's perverted? So, you THINK he's perverted just because he's gay? YOU, genius, are the one that's perverted. How many straight people out there are perverts? If you ask me, it's straight people that are the biggest perverts. I guess there'd be no problem if he were straight and a pervert? Is that it? What a great way of thinking! Yes, that last statement was sarcasm, but you're such a genius, that you should've figured that out. Oh wait, but you're NOT a genius!

Gay does not equal perverted. Man, what is wrong with people.

Well said emisle

I had many crap straight female teachers when i was in school and i would have swapped them for a gay teacher, who could actually teach, in the blink of an eye!

He is setting a bad example for my son. I want my children to have good examples so that they can grow up to be good and God-fearing citizens

I bet they didn't expect so many people to be against their opinion. Notice how they kind of just walked away from this discussion. They probably are sitting there thinking, "Wow... that whole thing just went downhill."

that's really sad. I feel bad for your children, for the message you are sending them by such an attitude.

You'd hope so Pigg.

Hopefully they would take the appropriate action of telling all the parents they are bigots and keeping the good teacher.

Normal teachers like the white, married male, Christian group leader at my middle school who molested girls? Oh yes, we need more of those! I enjoyed learning from a diverse group of teachers of all ethnicities, beliefs, and sexualities.

this is right i agree

Or it proves that at least some members of society are improving.

Jimbo ,before you perport to represent God you need to read the Holy Bible and you will find that God condemns homosexuality.
