The stories that emerged in these focus groups were gathered over a year’s time. All of the focus groups took place in the Midwest (Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois) and in various rural/urban locations (small town or neighborhood libraries and big university student centers; coffee shops and church basements). In making the call for participants, I accessed LGBT listservs and activist groups, posted flyers, and attended activist group meetings. My purpose was to call together intergenerational groups of LGBT-identified people to talk about how their sense of identity and community is defined (or not defined) by digital spaces and communications and/or—for the older participants who were born before the digital age—how LGBT communities and identities are changed by a digital environment.
