I had a homosexual teacher I’m high school. He is one of the only teachers I remember. He was great and funny. And I am a married heterosexual male with two children. It didn’t affect me!!!! Get over it!
Maga are sexual predators and assume everyone is just like them. They can't fathom a world where a gay person isn't trying to diddle their kids because that's the kind of people maga are and they project hard.
I don’t care what hole she likes. I don’t even want to know. If she’s a great teacher, she can be an alien for all I care. Just teach little Johnny how to read and write.
I can't believe so many people still have that if 'you're gay & around a child, you're going to try to turn them gay' philosophy. It's beyond imbicilic & blatantly wrong. Instead-these "Christians" should look in their own ranks-to the 'straight', married with kids, preacher. They're the problem rn.
I don't think the LGBTQ teacher would try to indoctrinate the child. I'd worry more about the conservative teacher pushing their ideology onto the child.
Oh, they might indoctrinate the kid in trigonometry, grammar, punctuation, biology, American history, Civics and (being really daring) Spanish immersion...
And just like that the mic fell to the floor. Dropped really. It was a simple drop. Not overly dramatic like in a Guy Ritchie flick or when your Uncle Tony sees pineapple on his pizza. No. This simple yet beautiful drop felt full and wonderful and for the briefest moment we all said, "fuckin' A".
a lot better than having them in a class room 8 hrs a day with a teacher who is a bigot. I had a gay teacher in the 4th grade for a whole year. He never was a threat or taught anything about about being gay and I never even realized it till I was in jr high because it never fucking mattered.
I had a gay music teacher in elementary (yes we had those back then in small towns) & I never even knew it until I was grown. He was a great teacher & very kind,like most other gay people I have had the pleasure to know.
All i care about is are they an effective teacher and and do they have a code of ethics they adhere to. What they do in their private life is none of my concern as long as it's consenual.
Soon we hope they start to realise this a biological response. So what genes do these religious nuts and extremist (and I have to say they are no better than Hamas etc.) do this lot have there own special genes to become like this.
Imagine if one's sexuality were no bigger deal than whether they like coffee black or with cream or sugar, or they are a summer or autumn person? I mean entire wars have been fought over SEXES, people have been persecuted and worse over something that shouldn't be that important. SEX is scary! LOL!
One of my favorite teachers from high school is gay. I'm a Christian, straight man... his sexuality didn't infect me like it was so kind of virus, but his compassion, kindness, work ethic, knowledge, and love did.
Would prefer an all gay and/or Drag Queen staff in full get up over one minister, youth pastor, weird uncle who likes to give kids hugs, coach, or that one stepdad that prevents sleepovers at the house. I said what I said.
Somebody educate me here. What does teaching have to do with being a homosexual or reverse that! What does being a homosexual have to do with teaching?!
And to be empathic. And to be a kind person. And no, gay people very rarely try to "convert" anyone...most of them know full well how tough it is to be gay.
The children would be safer with that teacher than if the child was in the care of the president or any of his staff or friends, I know that for sure. I know gay teachers and they are good people, unlike the people I mentioned previously.
MAGAts are experts on climate change, medicine and the constitution. However, they just can’t, for the life of them, grasp the difference between your and you’re.
My 9th Grade English teacher was Gay As The Day Is Long.
Didn't know it then; never gave it a second thought.
Heard he died years later of AIDS (RIP, Sir).
To this day I credit him with being a primary influence on my educational maturity (we all have teachers we look back on like that).
EDUCATION!
Had a phenomenal music teacher in junior high school who, in retrospect I now recognize was gay. I fully credit him for opening up my world to joy and appreciation of listening to classical music which continues to this day.
Dave Lawrence is an idiot. Gay teachers do not influence children 2 be gay any more than heterosexual teachers influence children 2 B straight. I had both in my learning & I turned out
2 B a good person, a tax payer, good 2 my parents, my friends, strangers & mother earth. Dave what is your story?
Personally, I'd be OK with that! What would give me greater concern, is if my child was to be taught or be in the company of Catholic Priests and Pentecostal Pastors! HAGD. K.
Straight, male school teachers are more of a threat to your daughters than any gay school teacher is to your sons. Those are the bastards to keep an eye on. CIS gendered, white males are the biggest threat to your kids.😔
I’m a straight female who, along with several of my female classmates, was sexually assaulted by our straight male teacher when we were in the 5th grade.
It’s like maga millennials can’t comprehend that there have by teachers who were gay for millenia . Except for their gym coaches, of course. But that’s a Roman aryan thing. ;). Sigh
Naj needs to follow Beks @antifaoperative.bsky.social for a real eye-opener. It’s not “homosexuals”. It’s not “drag queens”. It’s not “transgender” people.
I wish I could love this post multiple times. As an English teacher, nothing makes me cringe harder than an adult raging about education while using the wrong spelling of there/their/they’re or your/you’re.
I cut slack unless they are racists or jerks. Why? Even with my long track record of awards and A plusses in school in the subject of English, plus a B.A. in English, plus having edited fiction; when I type online, I sometimes choose incorrectly in haste. I often go back to correct, but not always.
I believe that LGBTQ folks know that they cannot change anyone's sexual orientation just as heterosexuals can't change their orientation. It seems it's only a concern for homophobes. I do seriously wonder if they have a question about their own sexual identity and fear being enticed to be real.
The best teacher I ever had was gay. None of us kids knew until we were in our 30’s and he retired. A great teacher
So, there’s that.
The guy asking this question is ignorant, and generalizing.
As answer, I can only offer my condolences on his severe lack of humanity, understanding, and maturity.
It's so utterly ridiculous that I can't believe people really feel this way. Do these idiots think homosexuality is CONTAGIOUS? You have to be born that way. Trust me, I got fed up with men and I walked on the lesbian side for a minute. Nothing. Nada. Zip. It doesn't work that way.
Looking back on it, several of my teachers in the 60's & 70's were probably gay. But their sex life was not something any of us cared to consider any more than we did our parents' love lives.
So, I don't get all this shit about gay teachers? Christian Schools let Pedophiles teach class and let them graciously manipulate and deviate their children! These people don't really protect their own children but make sure they drop steel in front of their own asses when cornered
Straight teachers have seduced students. I forget that famous married woman one who ended up marrying the male student she slept with. It's like they think all gays are out there frothing at the mouth to get some grade schoolers. THAT is insulting. Well, and ignorant. Well, and bigoted.
Yeah, now that I recall, the kid in that case was 12/13, and even though he was sexually mature and impregnated her, he might qualify for pedophilia. It's confusing to me, cause he was so...active (as in aggressively wanting ot bed her). I was thinking he was 14/15, but my m istake.
Post-pubescents = ephebophilia. Many kids go through puberty early w/secondary sex characteristics, sexual desire & boyfriends prior to 15. BUT if you are a teacher:hands off! They are your charges to PROTECT, not use. I had B-cups, a period, sexual desire at 12/13. I looked older than my age, too.
An example where I think our society overreacts: I've seen guys on sexual predator lists cause they were 18 and had sex with a 15 or 16 year old girlfriend (who was utterly willing). This is not predatory. He should not be classified with rapists and pedophiles if no coercion (eg authority figure).
Technically, she was NOT a pedophile, but an ephebophile, which I see as wrong, but not as heinous. I cut slack the older the teen is. I was not a moron at 14 or 15 & I was attracted to "older guys" (I did not act on it LOL). Pedophilia is very serious. Ephebophilia is abuse, but less vile,imo. 1/2
Sorry, just a different style of shock mongering I was in the child care system for some of my life First home was a loving gay lady Very comfortable Next was a religious Christian lady Just as loving but not as open Shock collars are not even that effective with dogs
I am an Evangelical. I do not hate gays/trans
I am biracial and Latina and do not hate POC.
I am an immigrant turned citizen, and I despise what ICE is doing with such cruelty and lawlessness.
I am American, and this is not what my country should be right now, becoming tyrannical and regressing.
I am 65, a widow 2 1/2 years, and my parents have been dead two decades plus. And every night in my prayers I thank God with my whole heart for loving parents--not educated, working class, immigrants, but generous, kind and honorable. And I am grateful for a husband as perfect as dreams. Love rules
These are ppl from the community that many of its members may look up to or respect and they instead betray them, especially the young ones. Disgusting.
The last one I read father and 21 yo daughter went to Las Vegas, she got drunk, and her father molested her instead of keeping her safe.
As I’ve been around for a few dozen years, one thing I’ve noticed is, most intelligent and intellectually normal people aren’t hateful, have empathy, & in general want humanity to work together for all. It’s the liberals who make the music, tech, art, movies. The Repubs do country 🎶 & kid rock junk.
I’ve never understood why they wouldn’t feel the same about a STRAIGHT teacher who in their eyes would be attracted to their opposite sex child 🤷🏼♀️…it’s that just as, if not More, likely?
No, the problem is the nut jobs who promote conversion therapy on gay individuals. It's cruel & inhumane. People are who they are. Stop trying to change them to fit your narrow minded mold of what everyone should conform to.
Me too! It’s exhausting just trying to teach them safe hands and calm body. Ain’t no one got time to indoctrinate them on sexual preference or religion. Sheesh 🙄
I am 70. When I was in high school (don’t do the math!) in Britain, I had multiple gay teachers. They were incredibly competent, & educated us well. In the 7 years I attended there, there was never once a complaint from parents. There were stupid remarks from students,which were wholesale ignored.
So what point is she making?
That SHE was taught by ‘gay’ teacher bc that is the reason she can’t spell?
SHE was taught by ‘straight’ teacher but she can’t spell either?
Or is she’s a misandrist?
Or… what?
“Their” is incorrect in this connotation - “they’re” is correct. So it sounds like Naj is more interested in sexual orientation than in actual learning.
It's exhausting telling these small-minded people the difference between a homosexual and a pedophile. It's disgusting that they intentionally blend the two.
I kind of like exitus. As in exit US. A new term coined for those driven to leave the country by Trump. As in, "It got to be too much. They had to exitus."
Let’s face it we all probably had a gay teacher in our whole school life and we, as children, maybe didn’t know?or even care? A good teacher is a good teacher no matter their sexual orientation 😔really my friends let’s stop stigmatizing our teachers and thank them with more support and better pay!
It’s amazing ppl don’t realize that some of their favorite teachers, coaches and mentors were gay. We literally grew up with Michael Brady being Americas favorite dad on the Brady Bunch not realizing Robert reed was gay.
Both of my children had teachers who were gay (and so did I) but that was not the reason they were average, above average or great. Teaching is about creating a love of learning and great teachers do that.
Genuine question: Why can't arseholes distinguish between gays (men who are sexually attracted to / love men, not children); lesbians (women who are sexually attracted to / love women, not children) & paedophiles (usually your local MAGA Christian pastor or friend of Jeffrey Epstein)?
Im a “straight white male”, my flatmate of some 5 years is gay. I can tell you, it neither rubs off nor has he ever even tried to do something “inappropriate”.
But, both of us know the difference between “they’re, their and there”, also between “your and you’re” or between “a part and apart”…
I am educated and aware enough to know that children are molested mostly by so-called straight men rather than homosexual ones!
Just like as a woman, I am more comfortable sharing a toilet with trans women than one of those magots!

Learn are language.
I love grammar dissing!
How many straight coaches, police officers and "clergy" are arrested EVERY DAY it seems for child molestation?
And if you think "they" might groom your child, well then I guess it's contagious and RFK would block the vaccine!
This homophonic dad doesn't even realize how much ammo he gave gay-ally liberals who actually CARE ABOUT CORRECT ENGLISH USAGE!!!
Frankly, I've known gay teachers, and they frankly had higher ethical standards than many of the "straight" "Christian" teachers did.
They were real TEACHERS.
Lay and lie
Horses don't actually chomp at their bits
There are no nukules, hence no nukular energy.
Obviously, you shouldn't have opened that door...
A gay man teacher would touch your little boy? So by that logic a straight male teacher would touch your little girl.
Didlers are pieces of shit, it has nothing to do with your sexuality.
[In women’s most recent incident of sexual assault by a male:
53% of the perpetrators were an intimate partner
69% of the incidents occurred in a home]

If you believe that, you're too stupid to vote
You might try checking for context prior to attacking.
Most people on BlueSky are allies.

He 100% made She, become it, in such a way that he said, "Shit" EVERY FUCKING TIME.
Didn't know it then; never gave it a second thought.

2 B a good person, a tax payer, good 2 my parents, my friends, strangers & mother earth. Dave what is your story?
In 2025, we now have the same test for fascists.
(Also more likely to frighten and horrify conservatives, and I endorse both these outcomes.)
I WISH he’d have been gay!
So his child probably is too.
He should probably hold in school the kid
Maybe I should've paid more attention in typing class.
Duh! Now I get all the
Russia Russia Russia
From Trump and the Republicans!
They’re dying for Russia!
Theirs! And they’ll get
There! It’s called Hell!
So, there’s that.
The guy asking this question is ignorant, and generalizing.

My daughters' favorite teacher is a lesbian. Back in the 60s, I had "spinster" teachers and "bachelor" teachers.
I propose shock collars for parents who think like MAGA.
I am biracial and Latina and do not hate POC.
I am an immigrant turned citizen, and I despise what ICE is doing with such cruelty and lawlessness.
I am American, and this is not what my country should be right now, becoming tyrannical and regressing.
I was responding to MIR's bs about le Tourneu.
I'm overjoyed that you knew love, so many of us didn't.
It’s a constant stream of cops, clergy, kid workers (sports, education, camps, etc.)
And yes, you’ll notice they pretty much all reveal an affinity for maga.
See @antifaoperative.bsky.social
The last one I read father and 21 yo daughter went to Las Vegas, she got drunk, and her father molested her instead of keeping her safe.
So instead, they become monsters.
Every one of us has had gay school teachers, ministers, doctors etc. since the beginning of time.
2.Y ou missed the class on correct usage of the written word.
Let me assure you that no teacher has time to try and “convert”. Shit we can’t even get kids to walk in a straight and quiet line for 5 seconds.
That SHE was taught by ‘gay’ teacher bc that is the reason she can’t spell?
SHE was taught by ‘straight’ teacher but she can’t spell either?
Or is she’s a misandrist?
Or… what?
Their, there, they're?
Let me worry about it!
Almost as important as empathy and kindness
asked vs axed?
It's 'they're'.
And he's worried about a gay teacher??? 🙄
I’d love to be able to exitus.
Good reply!
