This requirement to be classified catches LGBTQ communities in a rainbow trap. Because when we look beyond the welcoming veneer of inclusive interventions, we uncover sorting processes that determine what LGBTQ lives are valued and what queer futures are possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55335874462071,"sku":"9781350429680","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781350429680.jpg?v=1750329276","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781350429680","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
