I’m in my late 40s. I don’t consider myself old. But I do think about growing older—and about why we need to work now to address the serious challenges LGBT elders face. Please join me this Monday in raising awareness of these issues.
Please join me in Blogging for LGBT Elders on November 9, in conjunction with the television premiere of Logo’s documentary on LGBT elders, “Gen Silent.” Whether you’re an elder yourself, want to honor our LGBT elders, or don’t want your children to worry about you when you do get older, we want your voice to be heard.
How do we help our parents as they age? For adults with non-LGBT parents, there are plenty of resources on how to help parents through the various legal, financial, and emotional issues of growing old. Search the Web or your favorite online bookstore for “aging parents,” and you’ll be swamped with results.
For adults who wish to help their LGBT parents, however, the resources are far fewer. And while many of the issues older LGBT and non-LGBT people face are the same, some are not.
