Case: Basketball Team- Similar Case
I coached a high school womens basketball team. Several players on the team were openly lesbians. Throughout the course of four years, more and more players "came out." I heard several rumors that one player, Chelsea, was approaching another player, Sarah, and wanting to "date" her. Sarah was not a lesbian and politely handled the matter by simply saying no. After several no's, Chelsea began punishing Sarah on the basketball court. She would not pass Sarah the ball, set picks for Sarah, and continously complain that Sarah wasn't doing her job. Since Chelsea was the leader of the team and of the lesbian group, the other lesbian players treated Sarah the same. It's not fair to Sarah to allow the other players to treat her this way, but I can't call attention to the lesbians without them thinking I'm discriminating.How do I handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You could discuss with the team the importance of treating everyone fairly regardless of sexual orientation. This would be difficult to approach without resistance but if the rest of the team thinks you are discriminating, remind them of what they are doing to Sarah. They are discriminating against her because she isn't a lesbian. I would also remind them that they are a team and they need to work together and accept each other's differences. |

| Comments: I don't think it gives a solution to the problem and it focuses too much on the sexual orientation of the students rather than the actual problem. |
