to learn more about RSE for young people, I recommend @redmoongang (mentioned in the article) & @FumbleUK (transparency: I volunteer for them but they are a great resource made for young people)

happy birthday Shakespeare! 🎂 here's a poem about bi erasure #ShakespeareDay
The _________ of Shakespeare The teacher fields questions in suit and tie, and then: so was he actually, you know… The teacher lets out a well-rehearsed sigh, Clears his throat and says I don’t think so, no That myth is very ahistorical, He was just following suit. Male lover? Sonnet 20 is metaphorical: He was just writing about his brother, He was a genius that had a blip, Recovered. He wrote to battle his fate, And did so. He made the most of his slip, It is not relevant to our debate, He clears his throat, true intellectual: After all, which Shakespeare is sexual?
