What is A Queer Endeavor?

How has the landscape for your work changed, or not, since you launched A Queer Endeavor in 2014?

Have teachers also seen a shift in students?

I imagine that you hear from a lot of parents and others who say that teachers shouldn’t be talking about gender and sex in schools. Why do you think it’s important?

Can you tell me about your upcoming educator institute?
