Contributions of LGBT Older Adults to be Recognized, Remembered on May 16 During “National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day”

 

BALTIMORE  – The challenges, struggles and triumphs of older LGBT adults will be commemorated on May 16 during National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day.

The day of recognition, inaugurated by The LGBT Health Resource Center of Chase Brexton Health Care in Baltimore in 2016, will pay tribute to the sacrifices and successes of LGBT older adults and thank them for leading the fight to expand LGBT rights. There are an estimated 3 million LGBT adults over the age of 55 throughout the U.S.

“In these times of uncertainty and change, the lessons we can learn from our LGBT elders are more important than ever,” said Monte Ephraim, Manager of LGBT Older Adult Programming at The LGBT Health Resource Center. “There is no better time to listen to their stories, learn from their experiences, and let them know the enormous impact they have had on all our lives.”

National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day was added to the National Day registry in 2016 by The LGBT Health Resource Center.

Learn more about National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day at www.lgbteldersday.org, including ways to host your own celebration, ordering the official Thank You Pin, joining  the conversation with our social media toolkit, and more.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
