Pride Month can feel hollow when your school ignores your existence. For queer educators, visibility isn’t just a celebration—it’s survival. In this episode, Bryan Stanton (they/them) unpacks how to reclaim Pride as a purposeful, daily practice when your institution stays silent.

With both tenderness and tenacity, Bryan speaks directly to queer teachers navigating erasure, fear, and exhaustion. This isn’t about performative allyship or rainbow logos—it’s about how to live and teach with authenticity in the face of resistance.

In this episode, you will:

• Learn how to center Pride in your teaching—even without external support
• Hear affirming truths about the legacy and power of queer educators
• Find strategies for visibility, solidarity, and resilience in hostile environments

Click play to take the first step in reclaiming Pride as a radical practice of truth-telling and presence—no matter what your school acknowledges.
