Advocacy, resources, and community for LGBTQ+ elders.

From advocacy to community support, SAGE is leading the way for LGBTQ+ elders. Together, we can build a brighter, more inclusive future.

A Legacy of Advocacy, A Future of Possibilities

For over 40 years, SAGE has championed the rights and well-being of LGBTQ+ elders. Through advocacy, community, and support, we ensure that every LGBTQ+ person can age with dignity and pride.
