  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!)
If Mr. Harris is worried, I suggest that he not bring it up at all during the interviewing process. I would not blame him for lying about his orientation if he feels it would help him. Personally, I would tell an interview who asked me about my orientation that my sexuality is irrelevant to my qualifications. If the interviewer asks a more harmless question such as "Do you have a family, Mr. Harris?", Mr. Harris can lie and say that he lives alone, or has a roommate.
