About this facility

Mission: from the website: Stonewall Communities is a community-based non-profit organization that advocates for and serves older lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) people. We build community among older LGBT people and their friends by creating educational, social, residential, and support opportunities. We welcome young people and straight allies.
Our vision: New England as a lively, inclusive community that celebrates older LGBT people. We welcome your suggestions and participation.
Our Vision
We envision a society where LGBT elders are active, healthy, visible and valued in their neighborhoods, in the LGBT community and in the broader society. Although our efforts are focused on the Boston and the New England area, we want to extend our reach, which is why we have created this online community. Now older LGBT people around the country and around the globe can share information, resources, personal interests and more, while keeping informed on the issues and concerns facing our community. Our goal is to put a whole new face on LGBT aging. Your face should be in the picture, too! Message from the Founder
Gay men and lesbians have always set their own courses, created their own lives and found ways to live life to the fullest. Just as we were "different" young people, we will be "different" as we create new possibilities for the rest of our lives. It is estimated that there are as many as 5 million gay men and lesbians 55 and older in America today - a number that will grow rapidly as Baby Boomers age. In Greater Boston alone we estimate there are 26,000 LGBT people ages 55 and above. In spite of these numbers, LGBT seniors are largely invisible - even in the gay community. We are routinely denied equal access to the benefits, services, marriage rights and other legal rights, and social safety nets that other seniors take for granted. We are fragmented as a community and lack support and solidarity when we need it most. With your help, we will change this. Stonewall Communities, Inc., a non-profit tax-exempt community-based organization, builds community among LGBT seniors and their friends and promotes better understanding of our needs. We are working to create educational, social, support and, ultimately, residential opportunities for older LGBTs and their allies. Join us as we create new possibilities for the rest of our lives! -David M. Aronstein, Founder, Stonewall Communities, Inc.
