| Abstract: |
In this practice brief, we question how, if at all, coming out stars is an activity that functions to cultivate allyship. Building on literature that similarly interrogated educational activities that center privilege to evoke empathy from attendees, we raise concerns about coming out stars as an activity. We then use Love's (2018) liberatory consciousness framework to offer a reimagined activity that fosters critical thinking without replicating oppression. Our goal is to provide educators with an activity that increases attendee awareness and analysis and inspires action and accountability without enacting dehumanization or using identity as a spectacle for pity.
