Ageism in LGBTQ
According to the World Health Organization, by the year 2050, there will be 2 billion people over the age of 60 in the world. In that growing number, there is a silent and often overlooked group, the LGBTQ community. For those who should be entering their golden years are actually facing greater hardship caused by isolation, poverty, and homophobia. Even those who have lived a life out in the open are now finding themselves being pushed back into the closet from caregivers. Luckily there are organizations working hard to provide security and peace of mind and body to the elderly LGBTQ community.
