155. Queer Educators Are Done Waiting for Permission to Be Seen

Pride Month ends—but your queerness doesn’t.

For queer educators, June often brings rainbow logos and empty gestures—while silence reigns inside the school walls. In this episode of Teaching While Queer, host Bryan Stanton (they/them) digs deep into what it means to reclaim Pride as a daily practice of resistance, authenticity, and survival.

You’ll learn:

• How to transform performative Pride into meaningful daily visibility
• Practical steps for building inclusive classrooms without burning out
• Why sharing your story might be the most radical thing you do this year

Whether you're feeling unseen in your school or fired up to make change, this episode offers a roadmap for living your truth out loud—every day of the year.

Tap play to reclaim Pride on your terms.
