Why is LGBT-Friendly
Senior Housing
Important?
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender (LGBT) seniors
are often challenged by their
search for welcoming and
inclusive senior housing
options.
Studies show that LGBT
individuals face discrimination
and even abuse in retirement
communities, assisted living,
and/or long-term care options.
LGBT seniors, who helped
pave the way for legal rights
and recognition for sexual and
gender diversity, are now facing
the prospect of going back into
the closet and denying their
identity, loved ones, culture and
right to live as they are in their
own homes.
