This 5-minute talk will outline a paper I’m beginning to write drawing from LGBT+ data from the IncludeAge project (2022-27). This paper will explore the role or significance of intraminority stress on how mid-older LGBT+ people experience exclusion across their lives, breaking down the assumption that exclusion is primarily caused by cisheteronormative society. The paper is being co-written with project co-researchers, so I will aim to talk a bit about the process of writing the paper, too. The paper contributes to the theme of the workshop by highlighting or at least signalling the relevance of intraminority stress and intra-community pressures facing older LGBT+ people.
