At least 1.5 million seniors are gay, a number expected to double by 2030
PHILADELPHIA — At age 62, Donald Carter knows his arthritis and other age-related infirmities will not allow him to live indefinitely in his third-floor walk-up apartment in Philadelphia.
But as a low-income renter, Carter has limited options. And as a gay black man, he's concerned his choice of senior living facilities might be narrowed further by the possibility of intolerant residents or staff members.
"The system as it stands is not very accommodating," Carter said. "I don't really want to see any kind of negative attitude or lack of service because anyone ... is gay or lesbian."

Gay seniors. Yet another "Racial Category" Let's review... Gay/lasbian/ transgender/ straight/ Black/ white/ Mexicam/ Latin- american, Korean, Chinese, japanese, Russsian, Did I leave anybody out? Is this what we are building our prioritories on? Didn't we decide against this when I was in High School? WTF????
All the freaks should join the carnival.
Hey, from your pic, you look old too, and you can't spell, so ease up on the guy in Philly. The world has changed since you were in high school in the Eisenhower years, so get a grip. It's not a good idea to put your business name out there with a combination of ignorant thoughts and horrible grammatical errors. Best of luck to you. You'll need it after this post.
Gay is not a race, it is a lifestyle.
