  Case: Seriously
I am a Lesbian and will soon be in the classroom teaching. What I find to be discouraging is that students will be able to tell I am lesbian by just my looks. I am worried that they will not respect my title and me as their instructor. How can I bridge the gap between them disrespecting me/ judging me and them respecting me regardless of how I look?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think treating them with respect and being open and honest about everything will help this situation. Showing the students diversity and that it's okay if others aren't the same as them will help them develop respect for everyone. Being honest shows the students that it's okay to open up about who they are, and it could help students in ways you wouldn't see, such as giving them courage to come out.
