Overview

Though aging is tough for everyone, it tends to be tougher for people who are gay. Issues that disproportionately affect LGBTQ older adults include stigma, isolation and unequal treatment. Together, they translate into their being poorer and sicker and having fewer opportunities for social and community engagement than do their heterosexual peers. Last update: 8.17.21
