For many LGBTQ+ adults in midlife, the legacy of stigma, silence, and survival still lives in our bodies. We grew up during the AIDS crisis. We navigated Section 28. We were told we would end up lonely, tragic, or dead. And yet, we're still here. Still Here! Still Queer! Now What? is a declaration of power for LGBTQ+ people entering the next chapter of life. It celebrates who we are and invites us to rediscover the joy, magic, and wholeness that have always been ours. Coach and activist Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt offers a practical and inspiring toolkit for queer midlife flourishing. Drawing on lived experience, interviews, and coaching frameworks, he provides tools and reflections to help us move beyond shame, reconnect with pleasure, and step into our most vibrant, deliberate selves. This is a love letter to Generation X queers and a celebration that we are still here, still queer, and ready to live with renewed purpose and pride.
