Exactly, Shirley. No teacher should ever be censored like that. Many teachers are LGBTQ and many students have LGBTQ family members. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that. Teachers are never prohibited from talking about their spouses or significant others so long as they are straight and cis. Nobody ever presumes young children think about sex just because they know their teacher is married to a member of the opposite sex. So why are teachers with same-sex partners different? This is a question supporters of this law will not face, because the answer is ugly.
