National Center for Gerontological Social Work Education Volume 2, Number 3 · June 2007

In this issue: LGBT and Aging
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Elders are often invisible in discussions on aging. This issue of Aging Times highlights the intersections between age and sexual orientation.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Elders

"Social workers must be leaders in eliminating both the subtle and blatant discrimination and oppression faced by current and future GLBT elders..."

LGBT and Aging Resources
As a reflection of the invisibility of LGBT Elders in aging, we are unable to identify any syllabi submitted to the Gero-Ed Center that infuse aging into a LGBT course, or LGBT issues into a gerontology course. We are eager for your submissions of resources, especially course syllabi, which infuse both aging and LGBT content. Please submit your syllabi or other teaching materials to sstpeter@u.washington.edu. The following resources on our Web site address the intersections between age and sexual orientation:
