As someone who is also part of the LGBTQ+ community and works in a school, I completely understand your situation. However, as much as this hurts, it may be best to keep that out of your professional life. Unfortunately, there will always be people who are homophobic/transphobic, and the only thing we can do is ignore them. The same idea may need to be applied to your work life regarding the students and parents to avoid any conflict that may arise.

I think that keeping your sexual orientation out of your professional setting is best. However, I do not think that you should hide it either. Without speaking on it, a student may see you as an example or as an ally. Even as a straight woman, I do not think that expressing my sexual orientation or marital status is appropriate for students, since it does not directly relate to teaching, learning, or the assignments. Keeping the conversations centered around education is what is expected of educaters.

I am also part of the LGBTQ+ community as a student studying to become a teacher I often find myself asking myself the same thing I do not intend to hide the fact that I am gay in school but I also do not intend to incorporated it into my professional life.

I would say, IGNORE THEM! You are in your profession because you did the work and requirements to get there, and being someone different from them should not change anything. Sadly, it can be a "side-eye" thing to be apart of the LGBTQ+ community and be a teacher and you may have to express it less as you work but you are free to do it more when off the clock.

Definitely ignore them! That is not right of the parents, and it is good to educate the students on how people are different. I know it is touchy to fully dive into LGBTQ with students but explaining different cultures could help.
