Heartbreaking. Horrifying. And enraging.
This happens more than we know all over the world . Quality seniors care for anybody is difficult, unless you are rich, and that is magnified for LGBTQ+ seniors. It’s shocking that LGBTQ+ Americans are not guaranteed equal rights and access to safe, secure housing and care.
In Canada those legal provisions are in place. I know there is even an LGBTQ+ Seniors Care Home in Toronto. And I know there are several LGBTQ+ seniors communities in the USA. It’s a start but it’s not enough.
I’m glad Elsa survived. Did you ever find out what caused it?
