164. Empathy Is Not Optional for Pride and Queer Visibility in Our Schools

If you’re more uncomfortable with two dads at Pride than with hate signs outside a school, you’re missing the real danger for queer kids.


In this raw, urgent episode, two LGBTQ+ educators pull back the curtain on the real cost of “otherness” in America’s classrooms. We go deep on how queer teachers navigate the Bible Belt, what happens when mentioning LGBTQ+ even gets banned, and why true inclusion means more than a rainbow sticker on the door.


You’ll learn:


  • Why “neutral” schools aren’t safe for anyone, and how compulsory heteronormativity traps both students and teachers
  • How real empathy, not just policy, can transform classrooms for kids with multiple marginalized identities
  • Actionable ways queer educators can find real allies and build joy—even in hostile environments


If you’re a queer teacher, LGBTQ+ in education, or a true ally who wants more than surface-level “Pride Month” talk, this episode is your permission slip to demand better—for yourself and your students.


Tap play to unlearn, rebuild, and reclaim your space in schools.
