ABSTRACT
After outlining theoretical debates within queer digital migration scholarship, this chapter focuses on two case studies. The first case deals with how queer refugees from the Middle East engage with digital platforms, particularly with dating apps. The messiness of experiences with such apps comes to the fore; while they can help migrants find love or practical support, they also reproduce racist structures. The second example traces the production of an online podcast series. This project provided an opportunity for diverse participants to celebrate and reflect upon the legacy of older generations of Turkish queer migrants and queer public figures. The process of its production also revealed fragmentation among the queer diaspora and highlighted the challenges of fostering queer intergenerational dialogue digitally.
