"Long overlooked by society at large, and even by younger gays, elderly gays and lesbians are emerging as distinct community, getting more help and attention as they confront challenges that differ in many ways from their heterosexual counterparts. Advocacy groups say the estimated 2.5 million gay seniors in America are twice as likely to live alone, four times less likely to have adult children to help them, and far more fearful of discrimination from health care workers."

so true, there was an articel in sunday (ft laud .florida) paper about gay elderly & AARP.
we do need to step up & start taking better care / concern for our elders it is deff overlooked and a reflection of any society on how it cares for its elderly.
i have decided to research programs in my area to see if i can be a friend to someone who might need help . not sure where to start researching maybe gay & les center or HIV groups. ( suggustions ??)
this should be important to all of us for a better life!
It just seems so grim
