Stigma, violence, HIV, and the pervasive effects of long-term discrimination have taken too many queer people before their time, and social attitudes towards ageing can close even more doors in the faces of people moving into the next phase of life. But there is also a fierce, defiant joy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough interviews with iconic queer elders, including Joelle Taylor, Karen Fisch, Jonathan Blake, Ash Kotak, Lola Flash, and Marc Thompson, this book explores what it means to grow older in the LGBTQIA+ community and the wealth of possibilities beyond 50. Interviewees discuss their experiences, life lessons, and share the joys of ageing through a queer lens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juno Roche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399835327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399835329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Juno Roche","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874661740799,"sku":"9781399835329","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/queer-elders-juno-roche-9781399835329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
