I am involved in the appointment of a new head at our primary school. The current deputy head will be applying for the job and he is perfect for the job, popular with parents, teachers and children, highly effective and motivated, and just generally an all round good thing. It would take a very strong outside applicant to beat him - although we will do our best to be consider every applicant equally. The "problem" that I would like opinions on is this. He's gay. Do people think this will be a problem for most parents if he is appointed and when it gets out? Which of course it will - he doesn't live locally and is what I suppose would be called discreet - but he's not secretive about it. Would any of the parents on here have a problem with it? Has anybody got any ideas on the best way to handle the situation if, as I hope he is appointed?
