Subject(s):

-- LGBTQ+

Summary: “This is a queer book,” writes singer-songwriter Kate Reid in her Foreword to 20/20 Hindsight. “The stories here disrupt stereotypes, beliefs, and taken-for-granted assumptions about gender, sexuality, bodies, desire, and relationships.” Joan Beecroft has spent the last couple of years talking to members of the Grey-Bruce LGBTQ+ community about what it means to get old here. Why stay? And what does the future look like for LGBTQ+ individuals? These powerful stories from 20 local contributors are challenging and direct. They are also contradictory: some say it’s easy for seniors to be out, others say it’s difficult; some say the community is accepting, others say it’s isolating. As Kate Reid writes, “The stories in this important collection comprise an archive of queer senior life in Grey-Bruce and demonstrate the diversity, richness and commonalities of human experience.” -- Ginger Press
