my gay hero.

EDIT, 2007: i discovered that this post was topping out google searches on real names, so i've obscured the names and locations of the people involved. i've *finally* contacted my old teacher. she's happy and in a solid relationship (not the same one as in this story) and her son is finishing up at the school. she's still there because she thinks it's important, and i'm not the only student she's heard from. hooray for mostly happy endings.

for the upcoming SLGC concert, which i will be pimping in this space shortly, we're decorating the performance space with clotheslines holding posterboard "projects" on the theme of "My Gay Hero." mine is my high school Biology teacher. the poster is a sort of flow chart of the Mrs. W story superimposed over a collection of texts on Mendellian genetics, the LeVay brain study, the Bio II course description, and her picture from my senior yearbook.

( Mrs. W )

i wonder if i should contact her...
