The American Society on Aging has devoted the summer edition of their quarterly journal, Generations, to the topic of LGBT Aging. The Summer 2016 issue showcases cutting-edge practices, programs, policy initiatives, and research designed to better address the unmet needs and lack of access to services for LGBT older adults, their families, and communities.
For individuals who are not members of ASA, copies of the Summer 2016 Generations can be purchased on the ASA website. Several articles from this issue are also available for free online on the ASA blog, including:
