Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) older adults have
unique and varying physical and mental health needs. Yet their
experiences have often been ignored in gerontological and LGBT
studies. In this important and timely volume, Orel and Fruhauf
bring together crucial research from leading experts in the field
to shed light on the unique challenges facing this oft-overlooked
but growing population. This book uses a life course perspective to
investigate how LGBT older adults have been shaped by social stigma
and systematic discrimination. Although many of their experiences
are similar to those of younger LGBT individuals, LGBT elders grew
up in a particularly oppressive time, which continues to impact
their well-being. However, these individuals have also developed
coping mechanisms to adapt to stigma, discrimination, and the
challenges of aging. Thus, the book explores not only the
challenges and needs of this population but also their strengths
and resilience. The intersection of cultural factors and personal
attributes is highlighted.
