An Intersectional Approach to Services and Care for LGBT Older Adults
 August 2016 | Michael Adams
SAGE, CEO
Published by Generations - Journal of the American Society on Aging
Addressing the invisibility of LGBT aging concerns requires a multi-faceted approach that takes into account the heterogeneity of LGBT elders’ experience.
A one-dimensional analysis of LGBT aging has increased attention to LGBT elder needs. But many elders’ lives are shaped not just by being LGBT, but also by race, gender, and other social conditions. The time has come for an intersectional approach that takes into full account all of these life experiences. This approach will prove invaluable to practitioners committed to working effectively with vulnerable older adults. It also will fuel policy progress by supporting shared agendas and advocacy based on the intersecting interests of diverse elder communities.

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.
