Welcome to this episode of werkbook! We explore what being Queer actually looks like for eleven Queer ELT folx—across cultures, generations, religions, and life stages. Thank you, from hosts Tyson Seburn and Taylor Veigga, for caring and sharing inside and outside our communities!

In this episode, we share space with Chad Langford, a Queer American, who is a language teacher living in France for forever. Warning: there may be a little spicy language, but only until we reclaim it for ourselves.
