Gay Teachers/Professors

[lgtenos]

Have you had any?

Hmm. There was this one teacher at my highschool that we all kind of suspected might be gay. He wasn't stereotypical in any way, he was just ******** awesome and we couldn't figure out why he was single. blaugh I wrote a term paper on same-sex marriage for one of his classes, and he was really enthusiastic about it, but he could have just been an ally.

Otherwise, no, not to my knowledge.

Teachers I've suspected, yes.

I did have an out Lesbian gym teacher in high school.

As for me, yes, I had a professor at my old university who's openly gay. Not surprisingly, he taught the "Asian and Pacific Islander Sexuality" class I completed a few semesters ago. It was a great class and he had much insight regarding the topic; he's actually Laotian. He also brought his partner to class one day - very attractive fellow. I'm happy I took that class (even though it only counted as excessive credit when I transferred to my current university).

Yep. Public Speaking professor.
Really enthusiastic and fun.

The middle school gym teacher at my small town school was openly lesbian (and married), but I only had her as a teacher for two weeks during swimming in freshman gym. I had a chemistry teacher that everyone suspected was a lesbian, but no one knows, or cares for that matter. I also had a psychology teacher that suspected to be at least bisexual-or somewhere in that area. Overall none of this has really mattered. Sure, it starts up a conversation every now and then, but realistically no one in this small town seems to care. Pretty cool :]

I have a teacher in my highschool that is openly gay. He's not the typical gay man though. He's just like any other teacher until Halloween, individuality days or other special events. During holidays like those, he dresses up to celebrate, usually in women's clothes. I don't think the school would be the same without him.

I can't believe I forgot my English teacher.

He taught my English classes in grades 7, 8, and 9. He had been married for like 30 years (his wife was my first elementary school teacher), had 2 grown children, played the organ at his church, and was a stern but knowledgeable teacher. I would have had him again in grade 12, but a week into the school year, he left town (and his wife) with a man. eek A biker dude from a town about an hour away.

This would be relatively scandalous anywhere, and I grew up in a very tiny, rural area, but after the initial shock, everyone got over it pretty quickly (except maybe his ex-wife).

I've run into him (and his husband) since then, and he seems much happier. *shrug*

My history teacher during 8th grade I feel is either gay or asexual for some reason. My Spanish teacher this year, who my sister also has, has been thought to be gay by both a friend of mine and my sister, but he really does not strike me as a sexual being at all. He's a large, sweaty, Jewish man in his mid-forties to early sixties. :/
Some of my friends had another Spanish teacher, a younger guy in his mid-twenties. A friend of mine went on a class trip to Spain with him and saw him run off with a man. Also, my friend's chem teacher is apparently gay and he saw him with his partner at some school event.

The teacher in charge of anime club in high school (she was also an English teacher and headed the literary magazine committee) is a lesbian. People suspected that my 7th grade language arts teacher is a lesbian.

I think it was a chem teacher in my highschool that was a lesbian. I don't really remember what she taught, but im pretty sure it was chem, may have been physics though. she wasn't my teacher, but she was really nice

I did have an out Lesbian gym teacher in high school.

That sounds like such a stereotype rofl

My high school literature teacher was gay (big clue was his love of Oscar Wilde, especially The Importance of Being Earnest, in which he insisted he read the parts of Lady Bracknell), and one of my current history lecturers is a lesbian. Other than that, I don't know.  

[Legato of the Night]

None that I ever suspected in college, but I probably met a few and didn't even consider it. However, my high school chemistry teacher fit the bill of a stereotypical butch lesbian. I mean, her mustache, hefty frame, and all-male clothing didn't exactly scream straight to me.
