An answer such as this on a controversial question such as this is advocacy.  Public school is not to be used for acvocacy.  Supreme court decisions prohibit teachers from wearing political campaign buttons in class.  Outside of school, a teacher has every right to express himself/herself as he/she wishes.  In class you are not to be an advocate--whether for a sexual orientation position, political position, or other.  School is supposed to help students with age appropriate ways of logically reaching their own positions.
