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!)
That should not be part of the interview. If it is, he does not have to answer. If he is asked what his sexual orientation is, and is denied the job, he then has reason to believe he was discriminated against because of him being gay. If he is not asked, but has an opportunity to share his personal life, he should be comfortable with sharing that he is gay because it is nothing to be ashamed of. Many students are a part of the LGBTQ+ community and need teachers like Mr. Harris. |

| Comments: This is very true. Being gay does not help or hinder his teaching ability and shouldn't matter as long as he's appropriate. He shouldn't have to hide who he is either. |
