Some of us survived school purely because of English and art teachers.
In this episode, we unpack the universal (and deeply gay) experience of being that student — the one English teachers adored, art rooms felt safer than playgrounds, and school camps were genuinely terrifying. From unspoken allyship and teachers who quietly went out of their way to protect us, to bunk-bed anxiety, sport class dread, and the educators who quite literally got us through school.
If you were a gay kid who found safety in an art room, this one’s for you.
