Exploring the Needs of LGBT Elders in Metro Detroit
 July 2012 | Curtis Lipscomb, Executive Director of KICK; Kathleen LaTosch, Co-Chair of the LGBT Older Adult Coalition
"We remind service providers and community member that in order to properly serve the needs of our LGBT elders, we need to paint a vibrant picture that will consider and include the needs of all our LGBT elders, not a monochromatic one that could leave 40% of the population out in the cold."
This article presents the findings of an elder summit held in Detroit in April of 2010. It places a special emphasis on exploring the similarities and differences faced by each of these segments of the LGBT aging community and a goal of informing the development of services that will most effectively serve their diverse needs. |
