Burger credited his family, his union, and school administration for supporting his work in the face of increasing attacks on the LGBTQ+ community. He also cited Crane, a gay educator who was bullied out of his job as a music teacher in 1996 and died a year later. “His story is what inspires me to do the work that I do, because I don’t want anybody to feel unsafe in school, whether it’s our students or our members,” Burger said in his acceptance speech. “We will never be erased, ever.”
