"More than ever, we need to recognize the importance of our LGBT Elders and learn from their experience," said Sam McClure, director of the Center for LGBTQ Health Equity, which inaugurated the national day of recognition in Baltimore in 2016. "Despite their often differing opinions, Elders and youth have much to learn from each other in these difficult times. By spotlighting our LGBT Elders, we encourage these intergenerational dialogues as we honor and learn from our Elders' examples of resilience and strength."
McClure is available to speak to media to further discuss the important of LGBT Elders in our communities and the evolution of National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day.
