    Sounds fun. I do wonder what math they’ll go into. As a queer person who nebulously loves math, I can see how normal conversations could be hijacked and turned into a math discussion.

    Maybe that’s what this will be: a program designed to pull queer teenagers together into a safe space where they can explore different areas of math guided by math pedagogy professionals. This might mean not always going the algebra-geometry-calculus direction, but rather maybe some fun probability stuff, graph theory, the traveling salesperson problem, the Towers of Hanoi, things in discrete math that could be fun to talk about.

      I can’t believe you’re just peddling this sick filth in public! Just openly embracing pedagogy and excusing the “math-attracted persons” movement! What is our country coming to!!!
