I fully agree with the reviewer above who underlines the stupid attitude of the teacher towards his vulnerable pupil. No wise gay teacher would take such risks. Moreover, where the whole situation is concerned, I believe a gay couple such as we have here would have to be very unintelligent to have only seen the pros and been blind to the cons of moving out of the city into a small provincial town.
Didn't they realise their living together openly as a gay couple would soon be noticed and become a subject for gossip unless they were very discreet! There is, after all, a considerable section of society that is homophobic and it's folly to behave in a way that draws their attention and hostility. In short, they take unnecessary risks and, alas, pay the consequences. As to the homophobics, well, it'll take time and patience to change them...
