‘This book is a fantastic resource, richly inclusive of voices often not heard within queer scholarship. While exposing the ongoing inequalities and backlashes faced by older LGBTQI+ people, it is also a joyous celebration of the transformative potential of queer communities. It is essential reading to help understand inclusive futures.’
