This is a freewheeling discussion on aging and ageism with in the LGBT community. The idea is to start the conversation on aging in our own minds and in our shared spaces.

Reflecting on and perspectivizing aging as a queer individual.

What is it like to experience aging in a hypersexualised and youth obsessed queer community? Do we think about our aging selves at all? Are we afraid of age or can we gracefully embrace it? Compared to the familial network of care of a typical heterosexual elderly wo/man, how different will ours be? How we would like to prepare ourselves for our silver years?

Why do we seem to disappear from the "scene" as we age? Are we as a community ageist?
