title: My revolving closet door.
abstract: The author reflects upon her experience as a college professor, particularly on the question of whether and how to come out to her students as a lesbian. She contrasts her own experiences as a college student on a progressive, gay-friendly campus with her experience teaching at a more conservative institution. The author concludes that she has established a "revolving closet door," one that is never closed and is constantly opening for whoever wishes to enter.
