'where can I speak to queer elders?'

Heard this from younger folks (Gen Z/younger millennials) at a few history events I have gone to - and came up again at the talk during questions.

They are there...standing in the dark corners of bars and clubs, at events?

Not sure if I qualify as a queer […]

An older white woman with short silver hair and glasses stands in front of a wooded background, smiling gently while holding a small green seedling in her gardening gloves. She wears a plum-colored T-shirt featuring a brightly colored rainbow hummingbird mid-flight. Two red hummingbird feeders hang beside her, and the “Your Shirt Is Gay” rainbow logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Queer joy is ageless. 🌈
This rainbow hummingbird tee is for everyone who still believes in flight.

As a generation of gay and lesbian people ages, memories of worse — and better — times swirl As World Pride wraps up this weekend in Washington D.C. the older LGBTQ+ generation can sometimes find a hard time fitting in among the after-parties and DJ sets.

The quiet crisis facing older LGBTQ+ people | Advocates warn of a quiet crisis among retirement-age LGBTQ+ people and a community at risk of becoming marginalized inside their own community.

#QueerElders I need advice. How do we live through these times? I constantly feel like my skin is on fire. Being aware of the world is inescapable and feels impossible to tolerate. I know survival is the goal, but there will be nothing left of my spirit soon unless I figure out how to cope.

I've been relying deeply on the past when trying to look at the future. Yes, to learn what worked in movement organizing and what didn't. But also just for the comfort of solidarity across decades.

Pride-rainbow “book nerd” socks seen as worn

I live as a rainbow dot in a deep red county. I always wear the rainbow so that the scared kids can see two things.

If I have one reason to stick around through this next administration, it's that growing up without queer elders sucked. The next generation deserves to see us living as long as possible. Being a queer elder is gonna be punk as fuck.
