Using a survey and in-depth interviews, it documents the experiences of way-later-in-life sapphics as they come out, navigate dating apps, and join LGBTQIA+ communities on social media. The author complements this analysis by exploring their own experience coming out as queer and nonbinary in my 50s after a 22-year relationship with their ex-husband. They explore the role digital media—social media, online communities, and dating apps—played in supporting and complicating the process of self-discovery and coming out. This volume stands as a subversive statement—“We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it”—against the threats on LGBTQIA+ rights in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-07-23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783031962578\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309914976396,"sku":"9783031962578","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031962578.jpg?v=1768940673","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031962578","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
