Gay and lesbian seniors: Unique challenges of coming out in later life

Article Abstract:

Senior Action in a Gay Environment (SAGE) has helped elder gays and lesbians by acting as a substitute relative, as a senior center, a place to form new relationships and as a therapy group. Some gay and lesbian seniors approaching SAGE are seeking out a gay-identified organization for the first time, and many members have kept their gay identity to themselves. Gay and lesbian seniors face the same struggles associated with ageing as everyone else, but may feel isolated due to years of internalized homophobia.
