Aging is a major concern for sexuality and gender minorities. There's a lot of places that reject us, or mistreat us. Frustrating to see this OK'd by the courts.

That is so distressing. Where are elderly LGBTQ people to go? 😡

@Myrth

I know a few people who want to open LGBTQ-focused retirement communities, but that would never be enough for everyone.

@tyghebright 2 of my closest friends are lesbians. They are getting older and one is having some mobility challenges. It never even dawned on me that a retirement community might ban them, should they decide to move into one. I try to be aware, but sometimes my privilege shows. No one should have to contend with hate.

I know they have had to deal with hate their whole lives, and that's so wrong because they are they nicest people I know.

We still have so far to go as a society. 😕
