New York ads to focus on lives of GLBT seniors

Published October 13, 2008 in Newsday NEW YORK - Portraits of gay and lesbian seniors will soon adorn New York City subways and buses as part of an advocacy organization's campaign. The $350,000 campaign is backed by Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders. The organization's executive director, Michael Adams, says that elderly people in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community are "invisible." The organization is holding a conference this week co-sponsored with AARP to look at the challenges facing an aging GLBT population.
