Gay and Lesbian Senior Citizens Share Some Advice

Just the other day I was talking to my mother about how damaging it is that gay men lost nearly a whole generation of men who would have been the elders of my community now.

...and now I come across this video. Take a listen to the touching advice shared by a group of gay and lesbian senior citizens.

  2. I love this. So much. Love is all about acceptance, and it should always win. Always. And just for the record I am a straight white OLD mother of three. so there ya damn conservatives! And I am teaching all three of my boys acceptance and love in the hope that no matter how they find their way, they know I will honor their paths.

    1. Good for you! I deeply believe one mechanism of deep social change is within the family. When our families teach compassion, love, and a deep validation of the myriad of ways humanity is expressed, everything changes.
