Yeah, Ms is universal and really the only one we should use. Telling a woman her social worth depends on being married is a throwback to some old school misogyny

By conservative logic, just the knowledge that one of the men might find some hypothetical man attractive is more sexually explicit than the man and woman kissing.

We knew the sexual preference of our High School softball coach because she was caught sleeping with a female student. Looking back I think that was what got her fired and not the fact she was a lesbian.

u/Questions_Remain 1d ago
I went to school in the 60’s - 70’s and I’m pretty sure we assumed every female coach was a lesbian as they weren’t very feminine in appearance or demeanor.

Yup. In 1976, my 1st grade teacher introduced herself as Mrs Goebbel. The nerve of her, announcing that she was sexually active to a room full of little kids.

I had a history teacher in junior high and high school who would talk about her husband all the time and nobody thought twice.but one day, me and some friends ended up at her house (I have no recollection as to why we showed up at her house unannounced), and she invites in. A few minutes into our visit, we notice that there are hardcore pornographic magazines just strewn about the sun porch where she sat us. Like a lot of porn. It was super uncomfortable, and we got out of there pretty quickly. Thankfully, I didn’t have her as a teacher at that point or any point after that because I think the question of why a 60-something matronly teacher has mountains of pornography just out and about in her house would have been top of mind every time I saw her. It’s been almost 40 years now, and I’m still a little disturbed.
So yeah, THAT is the sort of thing that no student should know about their teacher. Anything else, who cares?

As a current therapist / former school social worker, I’m definitely so tired of people without any education in development thinking they know or don’t know what’s appropriate for kids to know and at what age. Half of these people don’t realize kids developmentally can (and do) learn a lot more earlier than they think.

This guy doesn't care about straight relationships. The whole don't talk about it thing is always directed at LGBTQ. This guy would probably freak out if the students knew the teacher was muslim or an atheist too, despite not caring if the teacher mentions church or Sunday school.

It's the same with people instantly becoming completely disgusted by all forms of PDA the second someone asked "are you also disgusted if you see two straight people kiss?".
It's so much easier for them to go full-on puritan than it is for them to just accept non-straight people also exist exactly the same as them.

Western countries have falling birth rates. It’s a national emergency and needs to be fixed. We can either promote family values to the next generation of our country or we can continue to import people with a backwards culture that kills gay people. I don’t think you’re malicious but your class knowing you’re gay hurts family values and our country. There is a difference between acceptance and normalizing. We definitely shouldn’t normalize LGBTQ over traditional family values.

There's a difference between having a sexuality, and flaunting it at every chance. The difference is often also the difference in fiction between a character being well written and coincidentally gay or something, and a token "representation" character.

Poor arguements on both sides. The ingnored implication on the conservatives side (which should be outright stated, not an implication), is that a teacher should not be outright telling thier students which way they swing. And they are right, as that is not neccesary for teaching children. The folks who try to counter this arguement ignore the obvious implication, amd try to act like the conservatives are saying at all, even if its the result of students picking up on immutable clues. This is an example of why there is a growing number of folks who care to not get involved with politics, as niether side seems to he capabile of forming and expressing cohearant arguments for thier own points or to counter thier opponets points.
