I don't have a problem with it. They're part of a charter school--meaning that they're probably in a small classroom and have a close relationship with their teacher. Friendly relationships between teacher/student are often much closer in the primary grades. I've known plenty of heterosexual elementary school teachers who have invited students to their wedding--why should it be any different for homosexual school teachers? They took the public bus, so no school resources were used. The only thing they missed was instruction time, but there are plenty of more asinine things that cause students to miss instruction time.
This is really not a big deal, and I agree with the suggestion that it is a teachable moment.
And Infinite_Loser, I hope you are aware that charter schools do not operate under the same rules and conditions that true public schools do.
