Jim, speaking from a (slightly 😉) older perspective, Deb & I have been scoping out retirement communities for years now. Deb had favored a Roman Catholic retirement unit for her (now deceased) parents, because it had a policy of not throwing people to the curb if money ran out (her dad was a retired pastor — reliable pension, but not large), so that’s what we looked at first. While affordable, as an RC institution they were not, shall we say, LGBTQ+ supportive. 😐 So I went looking for non-religious retirement homes that were not profit-oriented… and found NONE in our area. So (a) pay more and (2) get thrown out if rates go higher than we can afford? ☹️ We put down a deposit on an apartment at a Prebyterian home that is near Deb’s family while also having a memory support unit (which I will need at some point, hopefully not before we move in) and is affordable.
So my point (yes, I have one!) is that LGBTQ elders will probably be forced into religious homes that they can afford, but may lose their identity in the process. Not good!
