Today is Idahobit: International Day Against LGBT+ Discrimination (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia) Many older LGBTI+ people have lived through a time where identities were pathologised or criminalised. As a result, many of them have learned to conceal their sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status in order to be safe, particularly when interacting with the health or social services sector. The fear and mistrust of these services in the past have led older LGBTI+ people to be reluctant to utilise mainstream services, including aged care. Hear what an expert panel had to say about the barriers older LGBTI+ people face, and ways for aged care providers to address them, by replaying our Ageing Mosaic – Support for LGBTI people webinar https://opan.org.au/video/the-ageing-mosaic-support-for-lgbti-people/ (fb)
