Have you ever wondered what happens when a trannie gets old? Ever thought about what aging lesbians and gays go through? Now that people aren't dying from HIV and AIDS what do we do with them?
I was excited to read that the Department of Health and Human Services is establishing a center to distribute grant money to aid the aging homosexual population. It's not much but it's a start.
It's not until recently that the idea of caring for elderly GLBTHOMO's has been dealt with. Why? Probably because there were no old homosexuals before stonewall. Sort of like there were no Indians in North America until Columbus came.
Elderly Mos are continually discriminated against. Nursing homes have a lack of knowledge and understanding on how to deal with mos. Further more, nursing home populations tend to discriminate and harass those that choose to out themselves.
It seems very sad that the people that started the fight for gay rights and happiness are still fighting to their last days.
