Abstract

This article reports on health and aged care services for older lesbian and gay adults in Australia. In interviews, 14 of these individuals reflected on past and anticipated care and presented narratives related to culture, community, and friendship. The article also discusses the recognition and legitimation of gay and lesbian communities and gerontology in Australia. Information is presented on service engagement for older people, social isolation, public and private identity expression, and diversity as well.
