Abstract	Many LGBTQ educators approach identity management with great caution, but what types of identity management do these teachers employ when teaching in an area characterised by evangelical fundamentalism that heavily influences education and society such as the area known as the Bible Belt? The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of two gay music educators who live and teach in the Bible Belt. Data were drawn from participant interviews. Through an analysis of the data using the constant comparative method, four overarching themes emerged: Attributes of the Bible Belt, familial influences on coming out, teacher considerations for being out, and philosophical beliefs.
