Or one that you had your suspicions about? In middle school, our maths teacher, Miss Jones, was a bit "manish", but looking back, I think she was just being strict.
It's not possible to have a mature conversation with a Dimwit. Everyone knows that. Except Dimwits.
One of my highschool english teachers i am sure was. She was always talking about her 'girlfriends'. And I think my photography teacher was because she just seemed it. Other then that all my teachers were married... Wait my first grade teacher came out... now I am done.
shareJust because they were married, doesn't mean they weren't gay. A lot of ppl try to 'change themselves' by getting married, refusing to accept themselves for who they are...
shareWe've all had a gay teacher! Think about it, until recent times few teachers would have come out and risked firing, harassment or worse. Bless 'em all for putting up with homophobic, scared-e-cat American society.
shareThank you, celtfire1! Yes, every man and woman and boy and girl has had at least one homosexual teacher during his or her whole life. I know that I have had several such teachers over my life and most of them were "married" to opposte gender people ant that is good! [smiles] "Gay" is a rather modern concept and way too much is made of it, in these controversial and transitional times.
I am 47 years old and I have been a homosexual male since I was conceived. I love and respect all women and all women's instincts. I love and respect all men and all men's instincts.
I grew up among truly homosexual women and men (though, the idea of "gay" was never openly spoken of in mixed company in those days) and I have observed all kinds of good men and women in all my years, regardless whether they were a man or a woman or however they privately thought. We all want to live our lives well until we die and if we're smart, we will [smiles].

My 1st and 2nd grade teacher was a gay man who later died of AIDS, he had a profound influence on all of us kids, and he didn't cause any of my friends or myself to "turn gay". Also, in high school we had an English teacher who was a lesbian that was nationally known and she was our student body pick for the teacher of the year award my senior year.
shareOf course we did - though there may have been one or two along the way who might have seemed "obvious," there were ones we didn't know about until years later. In my day people were very careful not to cross over certain boundaries. There's probably much more awareness today. But it made no difference in how they taught us.

Back in high school there were a couple of social studies teachers (male) who lived together and no one thought anything of it. This was over TWENTY FIVE YEARS ago!
shareseveral at my secondary school and loads at my university. i had this fantastic tutor who was gay and haing a baby with her cival partner. no one cared as she was such a fantastic teacher

I'm pretty sure my 2nd and 7th grade teachers were.. They lived together, and everyone kind of thought they were lesbians, but they never came out... (It was a little Lutheran school with a bunch of right-wing nuts..) I'm pretty sure they still live together now...
I also had a college professor who's married, but he sort of reminded me of Howard.. I was never completely convinced he was straight...
You clipped my wings, which you used to be the wind beneath...
My 5th grade teacher was a gay. He was a lot like Howard. My 7th and 8th grade English teacher was lesbian but my classmates and I never knew until a few years later when she came out of the closet and became a member of a well-known local LGBT organization. In college my film instructor was openly gay and held a small gay film festival on the campus soon after Brokeback Mountain was released on DVD.
shareI can count at least 4 of my teachers all the way thru school who were gay.
shareI had a gay French teacher, Mr Gage, when I was in my 'teens. He flamed like a bonfire and was the kindest and most approachable teacher I ever had. Admittedly, he was probably playing it safe by taking a job at a girls' school, but nobody had the slightest problem with him.
I'd call you a genius, except I'm in the room.
There were several gay teachers at my schools, and in most cases it was well known. One of them was very popular among the students, unfortunately, he later died of AIDS. Two of my teachers were alcoholics, one of them was my English teacher. She disliked gay people and made us read Cat On The Hot Tin Roof and write essays about it. Since I wasn't verbally bashing gays, I didn't get such a good grade for this one.
