Kevin Douglas is a dental student who is gay and unsure about coming out to the faculty and staff at his dental school for fear of being treated unfairly. A situation with a staff member, however, makes him wonder if he should report inappropriate behavior at the risk of outing himself. Kevin was shocked. Is she making a homophobic comment in front of a patient? Should he say something to her superiors?
