No, we're living in a world where it is ADVERTISED that we have lesbian PE teachers, and we are forced to "admire" their "courage", instead of not knowing or caring, whether or not the PE teacher is lesbian or not.
But in all fairness it's not like she advertised it. She didn't flaunt it, advocate it, or make it a public part of her life until she included it in an obituary. It's not like she was "in your face" about her sexual orientation.
