Subways and buses
in New York City will soon display portraits of gay and
lesbian seniors. According to an article
in Newsday, the Services and Advocacy for GLBT
Elders organization spent $350,000 on the campaign, which
features the slogan, "There's no expiration date on a
full, active life."
The group's
executive director, Michael Adams, told the paper that older
LGBT people are "invisible" in our society. Gregory Terry,
61, agreed. He hopes that the ads will show people
that gay seniors aren't an "oddity."
The ads will
coincide with a conference that Services and Advocacy for
GLBT Elders is cosponsoring with the American Association of
Retired Persons this week to address the unique
challenges facing the population of aging LGBT people.
