Does anyone have any thoughts about this?

As I typed the above I realized that it is likely, as Andres and others have pointed out, that non-lgbt instructors may do this on a regular basis as well - but I haven't experienced or been told about said instructors sharing intimate details about back rubs or insurance choices (among other things). I appreciate all suggestions either to the listserv or to my email address: skowroba@email.uc.edu Bernadine Bernadine Skowronski skowroba@email.uc.edu
