“If LGBT elders are not included in the planning process, if they are not represented in promotional materials, if they are not proudly marching and riding on floats, this lack of inclusion and visibility sends the message that they are not welcome. How do we assure that the pioneers who laid the groundwork for today’s celebrations are welcomed and celebrated? We identify and implement age-friendly practices, systematically eliminating barriers and working to increase the visibility and participation of our LGBT elders.”
