  • 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 💙

  • If you are in education, you should be listening.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

We Refuse to Disappear: Pushing Back Against Anti-Queer Rhetoric in Education | Ep. 205 (with sj Miller)
Q: Tell me, what is bringing you queer joy in this work?
Queer joy comes from seeing students, especially those who are newly expressing their identities, feel safe, valued, and empowered to be themselves. It shows up as students embracing non-traditional identities, engaging openly in classrooms, and taking action to advocate for themselves and their peers.
Safe Space Stickers Aren’t Enough: The Truth About Allyship in Classrooms | Ep. 203 (with Shelby Hall Denney)
Q: Tell me how you got involved with Pflag NYC and the Safe Schools program.

Mental Health, Queer Visibility, and Professional Risk in Education | Ep. 193 (with Dr. Clark Ausloos)
Q: What role do professional organizations like Sage play for queer educators and counselors?

Mental Health, Queer Visibility, and Professional Risk in Education | Ep. 193 (with Dr. Clark Ausloos)
Q: How do you balance belonging and professional boundaries in the classroom?
Belonging is cultivated by thoughtful self-disclosure as appropriate, clear communication about confidentiality and reporting obligations, and creating a space where students feel safe to express themselves while understanding the limits set by law and professional ethics.
Mental Health, Queer Visibility, and Professional Risk in Education | Ep. 193 (with Dr. Clark Ausloos)
Q: As a queer person, how do you see your queerness showing up in the work you do on a daily basis?
My queerness informs every layer of my teaching and counseling—modeling authenticity, incorporating queer content into coursework, and creating spaces where students feel seen. It also requires navigating safety and boundaries, especially given current political climates, to sustain a supportive learning environment.
