LGBT people who fought the earliest battles for equality now face so much fear about discrimination, or worse, in health care/long-term care that they hide their past lives, are afraid to ask for help, and die earlier. But, a small group of professionals is trying to change that.

I have just watched this film and found it very informitive. It's about the aging LGBT community and health care.
At sometime in our lives we will have to face some of the same issues that these people are going through now. It's heart wrenching at times. I highly recomend it to everyone here.
