Description

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Dr. Paul Taylor-Pitt's book, 'Still Here, Still Queer, Now What?'. The discussion highlights the unique challenges faced by this demographic, including the impact of societal changes, the importance of storytelling, and the journey towards self-acceptance and wholeness. It emphasises the ongoing struggles within the community, the significance of intimacy and belonging, and the need for resilience in the face of adversity. We discuss how:

• The LGBTQ+ middle-aged demographic has a unique experience shaped by societal changes.
• Storytelling is a powerful tool for self-understanding and acceptance.
• Heteronormification reflects a paradox of progress and conformity.
• Aging LGBTQ+ individuals often face fears of returning to the closet.
• Negative stereotypes can deeply affect self-perception and behaviour.

• Queer wholeness involves accepting all parts of oneself.

• Resilience and community connections are vital for navigating midlife challenges.

But...who are we?

All will be revealed.
