Women’s Health Speakers Series

What are the Needs of
Gay & Lesbian Senior Citizens?

Sandra Kirby, PhD, of the University of Winnipeg worked with
a research team from the Sum Quod Sum Foundation to ask
older  gay men and lesbians in Winnipeg, Manitoba about
their needs for gay friendly housing, health care, and
social services. She is concerned about the absence of
awareness of lesbian and gay needs in publicly funded
seniors' organizations. She will report on the work using
memorable quotes from the survey participants.
