I think he says offensive things and I don’t think he’s a good teacher. Here’s an example:
It’s a class about basically having a job and how to manage your life and today we were on the subject of sexual harassment in the workplace. He asked the question “If someone comes out as being homosexual at work and is fired the next day, does that count as sexual harassment?” He rambled on a bit, spouting out law things and such. He started to wrap it up and said that it is not viewed as sexual harassment and then finally he chuckled and said, “Plus, it’s their fault. They didn’t have to come out of the closet.”
“They didn’t have to come out of the closet.”
This really bothered me. People think it’s a joke. It’s not. I am a 15 year old, bisexual girl and I beat myself up everyday for not publicly voicing this. It’s extremely hard to work up the courage to come out. I’ve only told four people who I know in real life. It’s not that I’m ashamed of who I am, but I’m afraid of how people will act around me once I come out. I’m already an awkward person.
I feel like I’m lying to my friends and family everyday. It’s been a burden on me for several years. And it’s not a burden that I am the way I am, it’s a burden that I can’t tell everyone.
For me, it is a necessity that everyone I care about knows that I am indeed bisexual.
And that’s why I was sincerely offended by what my teacher said.
I’m posting this and then I’m never touching this blog ever again. In honour of coming out day, here is my coming out post from 3 years ago. Enjoy!
Goodbye pals, it’s been real.

My girlfriend, Cassidy, is in desperate need of a new camera. Our adorable little shit of a cat peed all over her old camera and it’s stopped working. If I could buy her a new one I would, but I’m saving up for a plane ticket so she can visit me. She took the two photos on the right, and as you can see she has a lot of talent. Cass uses her skills to photograph things that people might not otherwise find beauty in, and she wants to share that with the world. It took her a very long time to save up to buy her old camera, and it was like her baby.
If you have even $1 to spare, she’s set up a donation button on her blog. Even if you can’t donate, it would mean a lot to us if you would share this! Thank you all so much.
