Yeah, I teach high school and have a son. It kills me not to talk about my partner with the kids who have same-sex parents. It’s very unfair.

Scary. If any teachers are allowed to mention their personal lives, then he should be too. Plus it’s good that students with same-sex parents won’t feel left out in his classroom.

I don’t know if they track Same-sex couples in the census, but here is the link to the Canadian Census results for 2006:

They do the census every 5 years.

God, is that chilling, as an elementary school teacher with a few picture of my family in my office. And I’m not even in a state that protects my legal rights (but I am in a very liberal community).
