Speaking from experience I thought it was tradition to have two really butch female PE teachers barking orders at semi and naked girls.

Who is being told to "just deal with it"? And deal with what? The question posed is should gay PE teachers be allowed in the locker room, NOT in the shower or examining the student's private parts... If anything inappropriate takes place, it's illegal and can be reported.
Disallowing gay PE teachers in the locker room would be a suggestion that gay people are more likely than straight people to do something reprehensible. I don't buy it.

What are the legitimate concerns though? As people have pointed out, a teacher is a teacher regardless of their sexual orientation.
If they do something illegal or break the teacher/student bond/code then that is an issue and people can deal with it when it arrises.
To somehow think because a teacher is gay, that your kids are more at risk than they would be with hetero teachers, IS unfounded, homophobic nonsense.
Crime is crime, perverts are perverts, paedophiles are paedophiles.
All issues completely separate from the sexual orientation of the teacher.

Of course they should. What do people think? That because a teacher is gay he / she will be perving on the pupils? I can't believe questions like this are still asked in this day and age. Homosexual, disabled, religious, whatever - it shouldn't matter. The only relevent questions concern whether or not they are capable of doing the job they are employed to do, at least in my opinion.
Any other approach and we are getting into thought Police and discriminatory behaviour territory again.
Homosexual/disabled/religious/whatever it still matters no matter what the TV idiots portray as normal in this day and age.

If you don't want to have a discussion that is perfectly okay.
