And, public perception aside, it is estimated that there are nearly 3 million LGBTQ adults who are 50 years or older living in the U.S. today. These statistics are part of a December 2017 report conducted by the Movement Advancement Project, Public Rights/Private Conscience Project and SAGE: “Dignity Denied: Religious Exemptions and LGBT Elder Services.” These three groups worked together to create a study highlighting that LGBTQ seniors are an especially high-risk group in the battle for and against religious exemptions.

A Message from the President 2018 was a volatile year – and I am not just talking about the markets. For U.S. and European domestic politics, 2018 was marked by unexpected developments and a high degree of uncertainty. Some might even say it was a chaotic year. Together the ambiguity in domestic politics and a complex global ACG President Dr. Steven E.

The volatility and uncertainty that characterized 2018 are likely to continue well into 2019 – and even beyond.

Due to a recent resurgence within public discussion and mediated content of feminist, postfeminist, and antifeminist repertoires, centered on what femininity entails, young girls are growing up in an environment in which conflicting mes- sages are communicated about their gender. To assess, which shared norms and values related to gender are articulated in girl culture and to what extent these post/anti/feminist repertoires are prevalent in the conceptualization of girlhood, it is important to analyze magazines as vehicles of this culture. The current study analyzes if and how contemporary post- feminist thought is articulated in popular girl’s magazines. To reach this goal, we conducted a thematic analysis of three popular Dutch teenage girls’ magazines (N = 27, from 2018), Fashionchick, Cosmogirl, and Girlz. The results revealed that the magazines incorporate feminist, antifeminist, and as a result, postfeminist discourse in their content. The themes in which these repertoires are articulated are centered around: the body, sex, male–female relationships, female empower- ment, and self-reflexivity.
