Why is this under parenting – let’s face it – if Queer teachers don’t feel safe and are bullied on a daily bases from their peers and employers, how do we expect our children and youth to feel “safe”?

After discussion with some teachers in Ontario I have become aware how much work there is to be done for those who we entrust our children to.  Queer teachers are trying to find ways to stay in the closet rather than coming out.  What kind of message are these folks sending to the children/youth that they teach?
