Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Aging: Challenges in Research, Practice, and Policy

This academic Book examines the aging experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, a population with unique challenges and needs often overlooked in gerontological research. Drawing from scarce existing literature, professional insights, and surveys, it covers demographics, caregiving, health disparities, social support, violence, and end-of-life issues within these communities. The text highlights the critical importance of culturally competent research and services to effectively support LGBTQ+ elders as they navigate aging. It also addresses the specific experiences of gay men, lesbians, bisexual individuals, and transgender and intersex persons, emphasizing the need for greater understanding and inclusivity in healthcare and society.
