Before You Know It
According to research conducted by the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles, there are an estimated 2.4 million lesbian, gay or bisexual Americans over the age of 55. LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) seniors are five times less likely to access social services than their heterosexual counterparts, half as likely to have health insurance coverage, twice as likely as straights to live alone, and 10 times less likely to have a caretaker should they fall ill. In response to the inequities in care and resources, LGBTQ seniors have turned to each other for a solution. Some have organized to build or buy physical retirement facilities; others have worked within their cities and neighborhoods to create a network of support. The different retirement communities are as diverse as the people that make them up. Set against the backdrop of three unique retirement communities, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT captures the experiences of several gay seniors as they navigate the adventures, challenges and surprises of their ?golden years.?
