New York City's First LGBT Elder Housing Project

SAGE, the country’s oldest and largest LGBT elder advocacy organization founded in 1978, will be opening a 145-unit Ingersoll Senior Residences, the first affordable LGBT-welcoming senior housing development. Its first residents will move in around the same time as the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, which happened within their lifetimes and which some remember very vividly. I thought this piece of news would be fitting given our recent conversations regarding Stonewall, LGBT organizations, and older generations and their perceptions (or lack thereof) of gay people.
