You must have misunderstood my post.
Teaching a class or leading a club for teens is fine, provided you don't take a personal interest in them and their lives.
If you have a pattern of a teacher going out of his way to spend personal time over and over with teens, there's likely a problem. And when it's a supposedly straight man taking an unnatural interest in 'helping" gay teens, that's especially weird.
For example, let's say I was a math teacher and a gay kid came to me and said he was being bullied for his sexuality, and wanted my help because he trusted me. I would help him and bring the matter to the attention of the principal, and urge them to investigate what is going on. But would I form a personal relationship with that kid? No. Would I go out of my way to start clubs involving gay kids? No. That would be weird, especially being straight myself.
The problem is that the "really nice guys" who take an intense interest in helping kids are often doing it for pedo reasons. Usually the rule of thumb is that the ones who take a personal interest in the kids are the pedos, and the ones who just generally help (as you did) are not.
