Our elders continue to experience discrimination and remain in or return to the closet in the face of fear. We still have no formal GLBTI recognition in Federal aged care policy and we need a National GLBTI Aged Care Plan, so that we can determine how best to ensure a safe future for our community, free from persecution as we all age.

Is it that hard?
