Fighting for LGBTQ+ elders since 1978

For 40-plus years, SAGE has worked tirelessly on behalf of LGBTQ+ older people. Building off the momentum of the Stonewall uprising and the emerging LGBTQ+ civil rights movement, a group of activists came together to ensure that LGBTQ+ older people could age with respect and dignity. SAGE formed a network of support for aging LGBTQ+ people that’s still going and growing, today.

A movement of loving, caring activists

SAGE is more than just an organization. It’s a movement of loving, caring activists dedicated to providing advocacy, services, and support to older members of the LGBTQ+ community. LGBTQ+ elders fought — and still fight — for our rights. And we will never stop fighting for theirs.

“SAGE is bringing our many years of experience to the political discussions of this new era in the struggle for the rights and dignity of all persons. I’m very excited for the future.”
