The facts culmatg Jam Gaylord's dismissal were undisputed. Gaylord had been a highly regard public high school teacher for nearly twelve years when a stunt sought his unsel on several topics, cludg homosexualy. Durg their nversatn the stunt formed the belief, not predited upon any admissn by Gaylord, that the teacher was homosexual. A year later he reported this belief to the vice-prcipal, who eliced Gaylord's nfirmatn of s accuracy. The school board promptly dismissed Gaylord on the ground of "immoraly,"' bee he had bee a publicly known homosexual. There was no cricism of Gaylord's nduct toward any stunt or of his amic proficiency. No specific sexual nduct was alleged, nor had stunts, lleagu, or admistrators been aware of his sexual orientatn prr to his dismissal. Neverthels, Gaylord v. Taa School District No. 10, a divid Washgton Supreme Court held that public knowledge of his homosexualy impaired his amic efficiency and th nstuted sufficient e for discharge unr state law. * gaylord v tacoma school district *
The urt found an admissn of homosexualy nnot illegal as well as immoral acts, bee "sexual gratifitn wh a member of one's own sex is implic the term `homosexual. If Gaylord had not been discharged after he beme known as a homosexual, the rult would be fear, nfn, spicn, parental ncern, and prsure on the admistratn by stunts, parents, and other teachers. The urt nclud "appellant was properly discharged by rponnt upon a charge of immoraly upon his *290 admissn and disclosure that he was a homosexual" and that relief sought should be nied.
