Sir Ian McKellen launches initiative to support 50+ LGBT people
Pride in Ageing will work to eliminate the inequality experienced by lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals and transgender people of 50 years and older. The organisation also aims to ensure access to inclusive housing and care for LGBT+ people in Greater Manchester later in life. The social isolation LGBT+ people may experience at an older age in the UK is a focus point for the organisation to tackle as well.
Above all, Pride in Ageing will emphasize and celebrate the positive aspects that come with being LGBT+ and over the age of 50. The primary goal is to bring people closer together, share their stories and experiences, and eventually build an active and empowered community.
