LGBT Persons in Barry and Calhoun County: Growing Older |
Inclusivity for LGBT adults over age 50 in Calhoun and Barry Counties
It is estimated that there are currently more than 2 million adults over age 65 who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual, although the number is vastly underreported. This number is anticipated to grow significantly over the next 15 years as individuals identified as boomers age-in to senior services and require care to remain independent.
