| Abstract | The invisible minority -- Sandy's closet -- Becca's closet -- Daisy's closet -- Holly's closet -- Jackie's closet -- Frank's closet -- Byron's closet -- Lisa's closet -- Marsha's closet -- Marie's closet -- Walking in truth -- Final thoughts. "The stories included in this book reveal the intricate and multifaceted process of identity management that lesbian and gay Georgia middle school teachers regularly engage in, with the intention of carefully negotiating the conservative, heterosexist, and at times homophobic culture of education. Disclosure for a homosexual teacher is not a one-time event. As the stories reveal, managing sexual identity is an event that occurs on a regular basis. Feelings of uneasiness surrounding acceptance from others is also a regular occurrence in the homosexual community. To understand why lesbian and gay teachers feel the need to conceal and protect their homosexual identities, it is necessary to understand the social and political climate that forces them to surrender their real identity. In our heterosexist society where homosexuals are often portrayed as different, even sinful and a recruiter of the young, it is not surprising that many homosexual teachers refrain from disclosing their sexual identity to their students, especially in the conservative state of Georgia. Courses that could use this book include diversity in teacher education and other courses that teach inclusion and equality in education"--Provided by publisher. |
