Act now! OAA reauthorization must include services for LGBT elders
 July 2012 | Robert Espinoza
"Congress can begin rectifying this problem through OAA reauthorization, which has modernized
the OAA so that it remains responsive to ever-changing demographics, such as the increase in
communities of color. First, the OAA should specify LGBT older adults as a vulnerable population
with the greatest economic and social need."
Robert Espinoza, Senior Director of Public Policy and Communications at SAGE, discusses the importance of including LGBT older adults in the Older Americans Act in this article published in Aging Today, the bimonthly newspaper of the American Society on Aging.

A Broken Bargain for LGBT Workers of Color This report examines how LGBT workers of color face unique challenges related to their race and ethnicity and their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. In particular, LGBT workers of color are hindered by three major barriers: educational barriers; hiring bias and on-the-job discrimination; and unequal pay, benefits, and taxation. As a result, LGBT people of color are some of the most disadvantaged workers in the United States—and face extraordinarily high rates of unemployment and poverty.
