Ten More Good Years, Senior Citizens in the Battle for LGBT Rights
Description
Staying active is important to America’s elderly, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. This program sheds light on the unique challenges faced by aging members of the LGBT community. Featuring remarkable elders who describe the obstacles, injustices, and victories that have shaped their lives, the film also presents coast-to-coast interviews with gerontologists, social service workers, attorneys, senior strategists from the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and a host of other figures. Viewers also learn about the 2005 White House Conference on Aging, yet another window into what it will mean to grow old and gay in America. A viewable/printable educator’s guide is available online.
