As Minnesota Governor Tim Walz vies for the U.S. vice presidency, new details are surfacing about his teaching career, including the impact he made as faculty advisor for a high school Gay-Straight Alliance club. However, sources say the Walz family were LGBTQ+ community boosters even before then, as especially evidenced by one extracurricular Indigo Girls concert where the Walzes taught in Nebraska.
,,, Jacob Reitan — a former student of both Walz and his wife Gwen Walz (nee Whipple), both teachers at Mankato West High School in the 1990s — described feeling stunned when Ms. Walz announced her husband would be leading the GSA. Reitan said he had been subjected to homophobic abuse by other students, but confiding in Ms. Walz that he was gay gave him enough confidence to also come out to his parents, and eventually the school. After coming out, and with Mr. Walz in charge of the GSA, the bullying generally came to a halt, he said.
“It was important to have a person who was so well-liked on campus, a football coach who had served in the military,” Reitan told the Times. “Having Tim Walz as the adviser of the Gay-Straight Alliance made me feel safe coming to school.”
While Walz certainly deserves credit for stepping up, it seems to have been Gwen Walz who understood the raw importance of LGBTQ+ allyship in the mid-90s. Before the Walzes became involved with the GSA, Reitan recalled, Ms. Walz told him she had offered support to another gay student while teaching in Nebraska at the school where she and her husband met. A spokesperson for Ms. Walz confirmed to the Times that the couple chaperoned the anonymous student at an Indigo Girls concert — truly, one of the decade’s strongest bastions of queer community and camaraderie.

Stan Marsh : What the hell are you doing, Cartman?
Cartman : My Mom said if you want to become a lesbian, you have to lick carpet.
Kyle Broflovski : Really?
Stan Marsh : Well, I got a Indigo Girls CD, the guy at the record store said it was perfect
[puts the CD in the player]
Stan Marsh : .
Kyle Broflovski : I got these killer Birkenstocks.
[the boys all start licking the carpet while the Indigo Girls are playing]
Stan Marsh : This is a bunch a’ crap! I’ve been licking this carpet for three hours and I still don’t feel like a lesbian!
Lol, he should be made to quit just for subjecting a kid to that.
This was a grooming couple.
All we need is one whistleblower.
The democRATs and pedophilia...er...MAP are mostly allies, but a big percentage are the same. And involved in child trafficking and human trafficking. Both Clintons and Joe Biden included.
Yes. Putz screams I’m a groomer. Please God, pus just one sexually abused kid forward. Pleeeeaaassse
Nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal
Back when I was a teacher if I’d taken a student to a Rolling Stones concert I’d have been fired

Kind of suspect Walz’s interests lie in different direction.
One decent private investigator focusing on the grooming history of Walz would find lots of stuff.
Almost certainly China and our intelligence services have thick files on Walz.
Well the rest of us dont feel safe with Tim around....
I was an Indigo Girls fan in the 90s. Finding out they were gay didn’t change the music...
Well with 30 trips he gave them a huge opportunity to create a “book” him!
Oh, you are bad Mist’ Rhett….

3 way?
They were so far ahead of their time that the term “minor attracted” had not even been invented yet.
He’s one of those fatuous people who don’t realize how weird and goofy they come across; or that people can see how really mean they are underneath.
The wife may have been a “beard”—this was fairly common in the old days for homosexuals who were in the closet.
Putz is one of those too friendly teachers. No doubt he is a groomer.
