I dont care if they are known to be gay, but they should keep their lifestyle habits to themselves. They are suppose to be there to educate only. That means no groping, no gawking, and no sexual harassing. UPDATE: If i had a child who was gay, i would feel grateful if a gay teacher was educating at my childs school. In adolecence, who is this child going to go to for help with his social problems? If other kids found out he was gay, he may be outcasted. The teacher may be a better help than a principal or guidance counselor.
