omg i was listening to Late-Night NPR last night and this one lesbian girl was talking about how she and her family used to go camping every year when she was a kid and there was a general store that was owned by an older lesbian woman who she really looked up to and then she like tracked on the woman and interviewed her for the radio show it was so touching…. she was telling the older lesbian woman how seeing a confident gay woman living her life made it easier to accept that she herself was gay and that there was nothing wrong with it and they were both like crying and shit i was starting to get so emotional in the car… this is why we need to value and defend the gay elders who came before us and taught us to love ourselves its so important… i will die for the gays
ntm elderly people in general are often affected by loneliness, lgbt elders even more so. we owe a lot to them and at the very least should support them in having a comfortable, safe, not isolated later and old adult life.
true. lgbt elders are often ostracized from communities of people their age also because lots of older people still have very backwards and regressive views on homosexuality/transgender people. us young gays really should be doing all that we can to help out the people that fought for our freedoms (btw donate to Miss Major’s gofundme she was at stonewall)
thank you for adding the link!
