The Importance of LGBTQIA+ Aging Resources
June is a significant month for the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s a time to celebrate the progress made since the Stonewall Riots in 1969. While society has come a long way, much work remains, especially for LGBTQIA+ seniors.
The Growing Need for LGBTQIA+ Aging Resources
The LGBTQIA+ aging community is expanding. As more seniors identify as LGBTQIA+, it’s crucial to understand and address their unique needs. Everyone deserves to age with dignity and respect, but for LGBTQIA+ individuals, the support often falls short.

We must ensure that these individuals receive the care and respect they deserve as they age.
