Hi, friends. Thanks for subscribing.

In this bonus audio content for subscribers, I’m talking about one of the ideas in ‘It’s time to ask more of older gays hung up on the word “queer.”

I wanted to zero in on the idea that deferring to bigotry from older gays, even when it’s rooted in personal experience, participates in some ageist beliefs. I talk about the flexibility that’s possible for folks, even when they’re moving past 50 and beyond.
