Description
The afterward offers a final word on dealing with LGBTQ+ issues in so-called frigid climates. That is, how do we meaningfully address queer issues in religious schools, or in national contexts view queers lives as aberrant? This final note is being included because much of the queer work in TESOL, ELT, and applied linguistics fails to take this matter into account fully.
