It is a well known fact that our population of persons aged 65 and
over are growing at a faster rate than any other demographic. Older
adults are now living longer more complex lives than previous
generations. Recent census data confirms the emergence of a
growing, more visible older Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and
Transgendered (GLBT) community. In spite of the diversity that now
exists in older GLBT communities, very little is known about their
contemporary experiences and healthcare needs.
What is needed is a more inclusive understanding of older GLBT
family and community life. As a result, this book will educate
community professionals about the experiences of older GLBT adults
and the issues they face within their families and communities. In
particular, physical and mental health, family relationships, and
individual development are explored in this textbook.
This multidisciplinary approach to GLBT aging will also benefit
undergraduate students, graduate students, and academics
specializing in anthropology, education, family studies,
gerontology, health studies, human development, psychology, social
work, and sociology. For that matter, anyone currently researching
or working with older sexual communities.
This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of
GLBT Family Studies.
