Case: Being a Gay Teacher
Mr. Harris is going to a job interview for a Physics Teacher position. His academic preparation is outstanding and his results as a teacher speak for themselves. He has been married to his husband David for 3 years and is scared his sexual orientation would hinder the process. He is scared to disclaim his sexual orientation during the interview.
What advice would you give Mr. Harris?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Harris' sexual orientation has nothing to do with his success and abilities to teach so that should be of no issue in the interview. It is totally up to him whether he does or does not wish to share that information. However, he should not feel that he has to hide that information from anyone. He has every right to be married to whomever he should choose, and his qualifications are in no way lessened because of that. |

Comments: Everyone is different students and teachers and it is important for students to understand that being different is okay and accepted. This teacher should not feel that he has to hide who he is out of acceptance of other students. HIs open ness may help other gay students to feel comfortable within who they are as well. |

Comments: This is 100% correct! his sexual orientation is private information that is not necessary to share with anyone unless they feel like thats something they want to tell people. he should not have anything to worry about because it is not something he can legally be discriminated for! |

Comments: I agree! Someone's personal life and sexual orientation doesn't relate to their ability to teach. He should not feel like he needs to hide that information. The right school/people will hire him regardless of his sexual orientation. If someone discriminates against him, that job wasn't for him. |
