      abstract = {In this book, Johnston argues that affirmation is not only  encouragement or support, but also the primary mechanism we  use to form our identities and create safe spaces. Using  the work of feminist care ethics and the thinking of French  philosopher Henri Bergson to examine responses to school  bullying and abuses faced by LGBT older adults, he provides  the theoretical analysis and practical tools LGBT people  and their allies need to make all spaces, public and  private, spaces in which we can live openly as members of  the LGBT community.With its combination of philosophical  theory and on-the-ground activist experience, this text  will be useful to anyone interested in philosophy, women’s  and gender studies, psychology, aging, geriatrics, and LGBT  activism.},
