‘I married my 7th-grade teacher’ [Video]

A lesbian couple have recalled how they reconnected having first met in a classroom 20 years ago.

But they weren’t both pupils: Michelle taught Monica science in 7th grade. However, they didn’t have any contact for 16 years after that.

Monica reconnected with her former teacher through Facebook after coming out. “It didn’t matter to me that she was my teacher, my 7th grade teacher in 2004,” she said. 

“I got pushed out of the closet when I was 27 by angry people. I was alone, sad, dark. Everybody walked out, everybody who I had disappointed.” 

Michelle said: “She looked me up and asked if I still remembered her after 16 years. Of course, I remembered her.”
