We Are Stronger Together
Our message of treating LGBTQ+ elders with the dignity and respect they deserve is amplified and strengthened by our partnerships and coalitions.



Solidarity Across the Globe
Around the world, LGBTIQ+ elders experience rampant human rights violations based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity and the stigma of ageism. While the specifics of LGBTIQ+ aging vary from country to country and region to region, older members of LGBTIQ+ communities commonly face widespread discrimination in care, services, and housing, and are at acute risk for severe social isolation and economic insecurity.

The Long-Term Care Equality Index (LEI)
SAGE and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRCF) launched the Long-Term Care Equality Index (LEI) to promote equitable and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ older people in residential long-term care communities.

National LGBTQ+ Housing Initiative
One of the most significant concerns for LGBTQ+ elders is safe, affordable housing. Discrimination puts LGBTQ+ elders at greater risk for chronic health problems, social isolation, poverty, and premature mortality. Learn more about the National LGBTQ+ Housing Initiative.
