That's amazing to hear. I have this one teacher who has talked to us numerous times about how wrong it is to make someone feel unsafe at school because they are gay, how a student came out to her and asked to stay in her room at lunch because he was having a hard time coming out. To top it off, she pulled me aside one day before class and asked me how DOS went [I cheered it up a bit for her- I was the only one out of 2600, not exactly a bully-free day). Still, after all the shit I went through on DOS, it made me so happy that she reached out and cared about me. So I pretty much love her a lot. It's great to hear that you had an experience similar to mine. Having open-minded teachers whose opinions get heard by 200 students a day is a great thing.
