The problem is that a lot of parents in the current climite and fear from the media would be very uneasy about their child speaking to a older man on the internet anyway, let allone a man who is gay.
Teachers and leaders shouldnt matter if they are gay or not as for the parents thing i think thats a gray area. Although gay parents should be allowed to have children as long as they dont force their lifestyle on the child.

I'd rep you for the depth of perception but this flaming thing won't let me
I can't disagree with anything you say - particularly the opening statement. Even my own mum pretends to be fine about my sexuality but she's not really. I think she pretends partly because she feels (being educated and intelligent) that she should, and partly because it's a mum's job to love regardless.
Being gay isn't a lifestyle BTW - we don't choose. If we did most of us would be straight
I think you meant sexuality, and I'm not sure you can make someone gay - or straight for that matter. They might be able to pretend but it's tremendously damaging.
