Pride has always been a pedagogy.
Our education came from the streets, from marches and protests, from dance floors and community gatherings, from detention centers and activist spaces. We learned about ourselves in the pages of unconventional textbooks and in the warmth of supportive, chosen families. Our teachers weren’t always formally trained, but they were often wise, guiding us with their expertise and experience — drag queens, community leaders, street medics, librarians, sex workers, and elders who remembered a time before language but still found a way to convey “you are not alone." alone.”
This final module isn’t a lesson—it’s an invitation.
Reflect. Integrate. Remember that everything in this syllabus is a continuation of what our people have already taught us.
You are the next teacher. You are the next lesson.
