| Annotation | Presenters at this conference sponsored by SAGE (Senior Action in a Gay Environment) in New York City in May 2000 submitted the articles in this collection. The book is organised in three sections. First, four keynote speeches: an openly lesbian, white leader in the political movement for equal rights for people of all sexual orientations calling for renewed social action on ageing issues; an openly gay African American discussing his experience of growing older; ageing in the US today from the viewpoint of an openly heterosexual, Jewish woman; and being transgender and older. The second section presents general overviews on issues and concerns of older lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Lastly, special topics cover: intergenerational relationships of older and younger gay men, as displayed in popular films; a study of retirement intentions of same-sex couples; caregiving experiences of older gay men and lesbians; older people's vision problems; and responding to the mental health and grief concerns of homeless HIV-infected gay men. This volume has been published simultaneously as Journal of Gay and Lesbian Social Services, vol 13, no 4, 2001. (RH). |
