Are queer teachers the only ones creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ students in schools? What happens when they leave—and why are so many being pushed out?
In this episode, we revisit our powerful conversation with Flint Del Sol, a former teacher turned advocate, who sheds light on the immense pressure placed on LGBTQ+ educators. From being the "designated queer teacher" to facing outright hostility, Flint shares what real allyship looks like—and why leaving the classroom doesn’t mean leaving education.
In this episode, you will:
- Understand the hidden emotional and physical toll of being an openly queer educator.
- Learn how schools can go beyond token representation and provide systemic support.
- Discover why leaving a toxic school environment isn’t a failure, but an act of self-preservation.
Hit play now to hear Flint’s powerful insights and learn how we can create real change for LGBTQ+ educators and students.
