I often wonder what I should put up on the blog, but then I just post anyway...
The Denver Post recently reported on the many up-and-coming LGBT retirement homes and assisted living facilities. They offer the same bias-free and comfortable space that the queer babies (that's everybody else) look for in bars, parties, GSA's, and sometimes community centers.
I often wondered, as I marched, danced, and worked to elect allied officials... what am I goind to do when I start "living out old age?"... especially considering the outside world is not as tolerant as I'd like... here's an answer...woo!
On the other hand, I get to skip out on the agism prevalent in the LGBT community and dive into a potentially classist and racist situation. With homes going for $200k, who is this community really for?...hmmm...
As to the other problem, I've heard of people who just get together with friends to kind of establish their own place, where they can share a house or houses, and maybe a person hired to help with chores and such, and just go on living their own personal lives. I like that idea a lot!
