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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46643238076574,"sku":"UBD-9781350429680","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350429680.jpg?v=1774485074","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350429680","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
