Who are we to judge the lives and behavior of others? By stating homosexuals should not be able to educate our children simply because of their sexual preference shows just how ignorant we are. Yes teachers are role models but students ae more likely to respect gay teachers for doing whats right for them than choosing the same path. A person is born gay or straight it is not a descision you make based on your favorite teacher in school. That is the same as saying divorced couples end up that way because theyre grade 11 scials teacher had an unsuccessful marriage. I personally thought our world had matured a little but apparently not!
