Welcome to the podcast where we amplify the voices of queer teachers. Join us as we explore personal journeys, challenges, and triumphs in the education system. We'll also have discussions about anti-gay legislation aimed at schools and its impact on educators and students alike. Each episode features in-depth interviews with gay teachers from diverse backgrounds, offering listeners a glimpse into their lives. We'll discuss topics such as discrimination and advocacy, while also examining the political landscape affecting LGBTQIA+ educators and students. Expect candid conversations about working toward more inclusive and equitable educational environments. Our goal is to create community for all of us despite the fact we are scattered across the country, and beyond.
