But during the April school holidays, an unknown school parent reported to the principal that Charlotte was in a same-sex relationship. The parent said they had discovered her sexuality in a Facebook post. “I got a text message from the principal saying: ‘Sorry to intrude in your non-term time. But I’ve sent you a very important email and I need you to address it immediately’,” Charlotte said.

Charlotte had kept her relationship secret from the school since she started seeing her girlfriend in January this year. The couple never held hands in public, lest a parent or student see them. She was not friends with any parents on Facebook, so she still doesn’t know how a parent saw when she changed her social media relationship status. All she knows is that it ended her career at the school.
