Abstract
This chapter focuses on relationality in subjectivity and where barriers to such connections remain. By finding how youth are drawn to one another or how they are not, we find ways to help young people develop political strategies that move beyond them having to take a brave and too often lonely stance against uncaring institutions. Because, too, the differences that draw them together or keep them apart are more complex than sexuality or gender identity, such a project requires thinking about differences across the expanding LGBTQ+ acronym and crosscutting intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, class, language, region, disability, and more.
