ABBOTT ELEMENTARY FANS PRAISE REHGLY SUAL GAY TEACHER REVEAL: ‘SHOWS ULD LEARN OM THIS’

The way the seri has handled Jab beg gay has been wonrful to watch. Casually mentned durg a nversatn wh Jane, the issue wasn’t the fact that Jab was gay, was the fact that he hadn’t troduced Jane to his boyiend yet.

The seri uld’ve easily left at that regard to Jab beg gay, but this newt episo, we get to meet Zach – who is an absolute light. And te Abbott Elementary fashn, the big mystery behd Zach isn’t that he’s a gay Black man, ’s that he’s datg someone as exhstg as Jab. I greatly appreciate this beg a seri that don’t feel the need to have a very special episo about there beg a gay teacher.

Jab is jt … gay. The big mystery isn’t an explanatn about people beg gay, ’s how the group’s most exhstg teacher managed to get a boyiend. I’m so glad to see a fat, Black, gay love tert who gets to be funny, enarg, appreciated by his partner and his partner’s peers, and who has great taste sneakers.

She's unhappy about , but not for the homophobic reason you might assume. 1644977231\u201cWhy am I surprised (but not really) that Jab is gay #AbbottElementary\u201d — ZayahTal (@ZayahTal).

Allowg Jab to talk about his boyiend school ph him om a gay archetype to a three-dimensnal character, which feels substantial when LGBTQ+ teachers are still a ntroversial topic. Out tors around the untry have been fired om their schools for a variety of homophobic reasons as recently as last year and is still legal some is nice to see Jab not worried about beg out and we love Abbott Elementary for prentg his inty as normal, might feel a b utopian to some viewers.
