Ten More Good Years

Ten More Good Years

Ten More Good Years introduces remarkable lgbt elders who share inspiring stories of their lives and queer history. Via their stories governmental and social injustices are soon revealed, shedding light on what it is now, and what it will be to grow old and gay in America. Outdated tax laws, Medicaid and Medicare regulations, Social Security and inheritance laws, a lack of cultural competency within Social Services, and the need for non-discriminatory housing are all issues currently facing the Elder LGBT population. Ten More Good Years corroborates these injustices through coast to coast interviews with gerontologists, social service workers, Lawyers from NCLR, Senior Strategists from the National Gay and Lesbian Task , along with a host of other credible figures. Ten More Good Years also investigates the process and outcome of the 2005 White House Conference on Aging (WHCoA); an event scheduled every ten years to guide national policies on aging.
