- Thank you, Bryan!
This podcast is such a lifeline. Not only does it help me be a better ally for my LGBTQIA+ students and colleagues, but it also helps me as I navigate my journey to understand my own sexuality.
Thank you for the work you put into this and the safe harbor you create for so many 💙

As a CIS Educator I appreciate being educated and having the opportunity to learn about queer educator’s experiences. We work hard to create safe spaces for LGBTQ student, but what about safe spaces for the educators? Thank you for putting this perspective out there. It needs to be spoken about more.
Apple Podcasts5Erika Table WarriorUnited Statesa year ago - An opportunity to relate and learn
I love this podcast because it both provides an opportunity for marginalized educators to speak on their experience, as well as providing a space for connection and understanding to the lived experience of fellow LGBTQ+ educators, and non-Queer identified listeners.
Apple Podcasts5miss madilynUnited States2 years ago - A must listen for queer folk in education
A funny and informative show that really gives a sense of community to queer educators.
Apple Podcasts5Grant from UtahUnited States2 years ago - Honest and transparent
It’s about time we heard from those inside the walls of a classroom and what is really going on regarding LgBtq folks, rather than a perceived idea of what many think is going on.
