The unidentified man told Pink News that he was “stunned" when he asked which of students had heard ‘gay’ being used as an insult and "almost every one of my class put their hands up".
After speaking to the headmaster of the primary school, the teacher agreed to tell his class about his sexuality in order to “explain when people use that word they’re talking about me" and was thrilled with the response.
