I don’t have a great answer for that, but my first question to a parent who might broach that question is: How am I exposing your child to immorality? You mention that you work in teen programming, and I am working on the assumption that you don’t openly, without provocation, tell every teen you come across your sexual orientation, with all the details. Sure, you are open about your sexuality, but so is everyone else.

What I am saying is, unless you are pushing your views on everyone who enters the door, rather than letting the opportunity to discuss sexual orientation rise from the teens you are helping, then how could what you are doing be defined as ‘exposing them’? You are acting as a role model for those teens who feel that they might be homosexual, and need someone to counsel them through it. Teens will be ‘exposed’ to homosexuality everywhere – and sometimes that exposure will certainly be unpleasant, stereotypical or derogatory. Sometimes it will be in-your-face. What you are doing is letting them know that homosexuality is not the most important thing about you, presumably, but it is a part of you, and a good part, too.
