was this date a guy? he may be worried you will judge him by this and think bad of him. you should just tell him how you feel. clear the air out.. and things will be fine.  |

The date was a guy.I just assumed in this day and time nobody would find that to be a big deal though.I was just afraid bringing it up would make him feel worse,or someone would overhear it and start rumors about him.  |

I'm guessing with the way your talking and the lack of specification that it was a male 'friend'?...in which case he probably didn't want his personal life to possibly affect his 'work' life...if that makes sense...as, sad as it may be some people would take that information and do what they could to make his life miserable..  |

I would go up to him first, let him know it doesn't matter to you.  |

And when I say let him know it doesn't matter to you, I just mean by talking to him as usual. |

I dont think I would bring it up at all. Why dont you start talking to him by asking about your daughter?  |

He's probably been judged by so many people that have acted negativity towards his preferences that he is possibly embarassed.  |

DMK has a very good idea. Instead of going up to him and risk making him uncomfortable by asking him about the date or telling him that you're ok with it, I'd simply ask him about your daughter. He's the teacher, you have every right to know what's going on in the classroom.  |

If I were you wouldn't say anything to other parents! Some people are not open minded at all and would try there hardest to get him fired for being gay. I think you should talk to him and let him know that you don't care who he dates. Maybe he just isn't sure how you feel about two men dating.  |

I don't think I'd say anything either, because like you said yourself, it's none of your concern  Just treat him like you always have and let your actions show that his preferences make no difference to you.  |

Pull him aside and just let him know that you like him as a person and wish to continue to be friends.  |

I think the rest of the replies hit it on the head. He has probably been ridiculed in the past for his sexual orientation and was afraid that you would lose respect for him if you knew. I would go up to him and make conversation, like everyone else said, just to make a point that you don't see him any differently  |
