"I absolutely believe that [being gay] makes me more sensitive to the human condition, because it's something that, as you grow up, you identify yourself as somehow being different, as somehow belonging to a group that's not the norm. And so as I think of many of our kids, and certainly the lens by which they view the world, they also see themselves differently. And sometimes it has advantages, and sometimes it has disadvantages. But I believe being sensitive to it and thinking about it is very, very important as to how we structure programs and has to how we educate kids." —Chicago Public Schools chief Ron Huberman on why his being gay can be an asset on the job [Towleroad]

Hot, smart, great job and comfortable with himself?
*Swoon*
Does he have a boyfriend? Does he want one?
Huberman is hotter than hell!
@Jeff:
He's been partnered for 4 or 5 years now, girls. Sorry!
Not directed at you Jeff, sorry.
where has he been all my life?
Good answer!! After all most people get hired for being straight…
Now Ron says that being gay makes him more sensitive? Puhleeeze! Ron is a self-serving jerk who has never done anything to promote acceptance of GLBT people in any venture he was affiliated with. Whether as mayoral chief of staff, a police asst deputy superintendent, head of OEMC, boss of transit, or now head of public schools, Huberman never accomplished anything to address the rampant homophobia in city departments.
His goal is to be police superintendent. He outed himself before he was outed by the Christian rubes.
He's as good as closeted.
Good lord. Male teachers did not look like that when I was in school. I would never have skipped one of his classes either, especially gym class.
