ABSTRACT
This chapter completes the analysis presented in Chapter 3 to cast the net wider and examine the role of media and peers in the formation and navigation of queer Muslim subjectivities. Firstly, it engages with and expands scholarly discussions on the role of media outlets such as magazines and newspapers for queer people in Indonesia to come to their own subjectivities by attending to the increasing significance of the Internet and social media. Secondly, the chapter considers the role of peers for the emergence of ‘aha’ moments and queer epiphanies, based on the sudden realisation of similarities rather than differences with other queer individuals.
