SAGE Issues Pledge to Stand with LGBT Elders in Face of Discrimination
The Trump administration is giving businesses and medical providers a license to discriminate: to deny services to LGBT individuals based on religious or moral beliefs. Freedom of religion is important to all of us; that’s why it’s protected by our Constitution. But that freedom doesn’t give anyone the right to harm others or to discriminate. In response, SAGE is enlisting the power of the LGBT community, their allies, and the people who care for them to take a stand.

LGBTSr Facebook Group Enjoys Rapid Growth
An update on the newly formed LGBTSr Group on Facebook: we’ve got over 160 members in the first week. Best of all, members are communicating, sharing their lives, and interacting in ways that the group was intended to encourage. Thanks to everyone who’s joined, and we hope to see more. This group is meant to be a manageable size, so don’t worry about being lost in a thousand Facebook profile photos. It’s just us and a couple hundred of our closest LGBTSr acquaintances. – Mark

I’ve added a Travel Time feature to the site, as if the menu could get any tastier! It will also be included with The Weekly Readlines, listing three or four good travel articles each week. I might have to get a second image for the colder months, but let’s get started now with Bears En La Playa Bed & Breakfast, Chelem, Yucatan, Mexico.

LGBTSr Adds a Group Page to Facebook
LGBTSr has long had a Facebook page, currently with over 4,100 followers. It was finally time to establish a separate, supporting group page where people can post, share, discuss, and explore issues important to us. And, most importantly, to simply know we’re not alone. It’s a closed group to ensure privacy. Here’s a short announcement about it I shared this morning. You can find us and join us at LGBTSR Group.

May is Older Americans Month – Celebrate and Embrace!
LGBTSr is a place “where age is embraced and life is celebrated.” That’s been our catchphrase from the beginning. So what better announcement can we make than that May is Older Americans Month. Celebrate! Embrace! Engage!From the Administration on Community Living:
Every May, the Administration on Aging, part of the Administration for Community Living, leads our nation’s observance of Older American’s Month. The 2018 theme, Engage at Every Age, emphasizes that you are never too old (or young) to take part in activities that can enrich your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It also celebrates the many ways in which older adults make a difference in our communities.
