    have you ever found out that your teacher is LGBT and then been obsessed with that fact for way too long?

    my P.E. teacher was talking about her girlfriend, and I assumed she meant a girl who is a friend, because many straight women say stuff like that. but then I overheard her saying something about when she started dating her girlfriend, and I got way too happy to hear that.

    and then my English teacher seems to be dropping hints that he's gay, and I hope that he is just because this is a thing I get oddly excited about.

    anyone else feel the same? or is it just me?

    I dont think it is bad , I think that it has to do with finding an authority figure that is the same as you ^^.

    Loving / obsessing the teacher tho is another story.

    I'm not sure I've ever been obsessed by a teacher's sexual orientation. But in the case of one professor, it did make a lasting impact on me, and is one of the first things I think about when I think about him. It's a bit unfortunate--my thoughts should be of what happened on campus--and he might have been the best professor I had--not what gender he dated. At the time I knew him, I only heard rumors, but it was confirmed later he was gay. In fact, he was one of the earliest professors to be fully out on campus. That happened years after I had him. In my era, I think professors were to some degree closeted, even if they had tenure. At most, there were rumors, or whispered admission that a professor was gay.

    My professor did give me a more positive view of gay people than I'd gotten elsewhere. So that was good.

    I know of no other teacher whom I know for certain is gay. The realities of my era meant that a gay teacher had to be heavily closeted if he or she wished to keep his or her job.

    A teacher in my class was gay and I realised it like 7 years later, when my little brother (who was also in his class) told me, that my former teacher was married to a man. And I used to think he was single :icon_redf
    I think if I had known I would be really obsessed with him :lol: Luckily for him, I didn't know anything ^^

    To my knowledge, I never had a gay teacher. I had a teacher who believed bisexuality wasn't really a thing.

    None of the teachers at my school (as far as I know) are queer ;-; But we shipped our eighth grade history and science teachers together, they both biked together to school and shared a hotel room on road trips??? Like they were lowkey into each other.

    Oh shit I totally forgot because I'm a freshman and I don't remember anything. My principal is gay and married to a woman!
