Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Aging by Douglas Kimmel; Tara Rose; Steven David

This collection brings together research, practical information and new thinking on aging among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Expert contributors address sexuality, relationships, legal issues, retirement planning, physical and mental health, substance abuse, community needs, gay and lesbian grandparents, and a model agency serving LGBT seniors. Taking a gay-affirmative approach focused on resilience, coping and successful adaptation, the book is sensitive to the role of historical oppression in the lives of older sexual minorities, attends to ethnic and cultural issues, and identifies where further research is needed.
