It's not right ...

A beloved teacher is forced to retire because he's gay. Let's think about this as two of the most talented men who ever existed were gay, DaVinci and Michelangelo, inconvenient facts totally ignored by the ignorant and prejudiced as it's easy to assume and vilify if one is different from YOU. 

As per Lt. Col Jack Slade ... This is such a crock of shit! - Scent of a Woman.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — It was an unusually chilly Thursday night in December, and a drag queen named Miss Majesty Divine was putting the final touches on her show makeup. She was about to go onstage for her regular gig at a basement tiki bar, one of the last performances before Christmas.

Up at street level, two unwelcome guests had arrived. They were not fans. They were men with bushy beards, one holding a bullhorn, the other a placard that depicted a drag queen holding a screaming baby and the hashtag #stopdragqueenstoryhour.

“Repent, you filthy dog! You are going to burn in hell!” the one with the bullhorn shouted. “God sent AIDS to deal with people like you!”

Madge, as she is known to her friends and adoring fans, was unfazed.

“I teach math to middle schoolers,” Madge deadpanned. “You think I haven’t been called some things?”

By the end of the next workday, Madge, who in the classroom was known as Mr. James Miller, would call himself something new: retired. In the middle of the school year, the teacher, 52 years old, abruptly put in his papers. His career was over.

“It’s funny — all these people who complain about cancel culture, and now they are trying to cancel my whole existence,” Madge told me.

He was seriously good as a teacher without question.

Amber Portwood, the manager of the bar, said it was a huge loss for the children of Huntsville.

“Madge is such a wonderful teacher and community person,” she said. “Her students were the first to come to her defense. It is absolutely shameful what happened.”

Yes it is and ... read the entire NYTimes piece by Lydia Polgreen, it's the right thing to do.
