Evidence

One teacher who came into her queerness when she moved from the Midwest to a conservative community in the south said, “When you walk around and you’re white [here], everyone thinks you’re a Republican, so I was fascinated with finding the way I would have to live to show people that I did not agree with the things they were saying.” — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 1264
