This is true. But I am very fortunate I have 2 children and 4 grand children from my previous heterosexual marriage of 51 years. My wife has now passed. I cared for her with MS for almost 26 years. I am gay and live alone but I'm keeping very well at present. I'm grateful for that. I have since joined a local seniors group and go on various day trips. But I am not out there and have gone back to acting straight just like I did for many years before.
How interested is our society in gay seniors? It is now January 2021. This report came out in September of 2008. I am only the forth person to make a comment and there have only been 18,290 views of this report. Our society has turned its back on all seniors, but things look even worse for gay seniors. Those who wanted the right to have a same-sex marriage fought for years to achieve that goal. We should start now to shine a light on the needs of all seniors, gay and straight.
I am 66, unmarried, I have no partner, no friends, no relatives, I live alone. Now it maybe ok, I am getting older and older, I am worried, how to lead a life if I become so old that I can't walk? My mother used to say, God will look after you. But I wish that I should die in sleeping, as my mother died.
As a gay man at 60 I’ve learned to live a spiritual existence. Gay,man,married the totality of who I am. My husband and I have been together thirty four years. You choose your feelings. We live in a very small town. The gay people network.
At 59, single, no children and now disabled this segment holds true. Living in NYC helps a great deal because it has programs to engage in. But, the LGBTQ community isn't unlike the larger culture - focused on youth, beauty and material lifestyle. Sad but real.
This is what i fear the most. I 36 in a happy relationship but i fear growing old and regretting not having a family. I wish i could talk to more gay seniors and see how they are feeling. Sometimes i think i should just find a woman companion to have kids with but i am not sure. It really worries me as i age

Loneliness is such a sad affair
