More often than not, these days it strikes me that being out is a non-issue. And then a student will come to office hours, visit, pause, swallow, and then mention a partner, or mom-and-her-partner. And I'm reminded again that being out is not about me, it's about creating a welcoming place for gay students and for the sons and daughters of gay parents.
