Chicago’s gay Center on Halsted is scrambling to design programs that can serve a surging population of gay seniors, the Chicago Tribune reports today.
Says the program’s director:
“Some are still afraid of being outed. In the past they’ve been afraid about losing their housing, their jobs. They lived through a time when it was illegal to be gay, when all religious organizations said it’s immoral to be gay, when the psychiatric associations were saying there’s something wrong with you.”
