Organization Purpose

 

The purposes of this organization are two: to develop and operate Retirement Communities that are openly LGBT friendly and to promote, provide and support education on aging. We hope to add new members so we will be able to grow and reach those individuals and couples currently interested and sustain for those coming in future. By developing Projects that reflect pride in our GLBT Community, we hope to promote the positive aspects of our lifestyle.  We also want to promote fun, friendship and continued relationships in a group living setting that is accepting and tolerant of differences while emphasizing health, wellness and well-being. GLARP intends to add to and coordiante with existing LGBT community's efforts, organizations and agencies in its development of retirement communities.

 

About the Guide

How did it start?
The GrayGay Guide started in 1996 as a result of a visit to Barcelona which I enjoyed so much I posted information about the trip to the Silverfox Mailing List (see Mailing Lists page).

This generated email traffic from around the globe regarding other GrayGay places to visit, including a list from the late Ray Orpino. Much of the information I received was not available in any guide book and so I decided to use my web space for the GrayGay Guide site, which now includes information on 52 countries and over 2000 venues. In 2000 this was redesigned and expanded into GrayGay.com - a one-stop resource for mature gay men and their admirers.

 

Lesbian and Gay Aging Issues Network
LGAIN - An ASA Consitutent Group

ABOUT LGAIN

The Lesbian and Gay Aging Issues Network (LGAIN) works to raise awareness about the concerns of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) elders and about the unique barriers they encounter in gaining access to housing, healthcare, long-term care and other needed services.

 

*** NOTICE ***

These newsletters feature transgendered issues. If you are mature and interested, open-minded
or maybe just curious, you are welcome. If not, "surf on". You will not find pornography nor
graphic sexual representations at this site.

 

 

"Old Hags & Sagging Bags" is a newsletter for the aging crossdresser and other older transgendered
persons. The newsletter complies with the spirit and letter of Renaissance so while the emphasis seems to
be on cross-dressing, all transgender issues are featured.

ABOUT OLOC

We are a national network of old lesbians over age 60 working to confront agism in our communities and our country. We use education and public discourse as our primary tools.

Our national organization is directed by a Steering Committee that works to form and support local groups who will work in their own communities.

We hold biennial National Gatherings allowing us to come together to share experiences and ideas and recharge our energies for the tasks at hand.

We believe that we have a great deal of wisdom, experience and strength to share with our communities as well as among ourselves.

Everyone will have her older life made better by the work we do.

 

 

Incorporated in 1978 as Senior Action in a Gay Environment by a group of seniors, social workers, gerontologists, and activists in the lesbian and gay community, SAGE (now known as Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders) is the world's oldest and largest non-profit agency dedicated to serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender senior citizens.
