Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Free and open to the public. Discussion to follow. Presented in partnership with the Ithaca College Gerontology Institute and the Center for LGBT Education, Outreach & Services.
“Unlike any film before, Gen Silent startlingly discovers how oppression in the years before Stonewall now affects older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people with fear and isolation. “Many who won the first civil rights victories for generations to come are now dying prematurely because they are reluctant to ask for help and have too few friends or family to care for them. “Gen Silent shows the disparity in the quality of paid caregiving from mainstream care facilities committed to making their LGBT residents safe and happy, to places where LGBT elders face discrimination by staff and bullying by other seniors. “As we watch the challenges that these men and women face, we are offered new hope as each person crosses paths with impassioned people trying to change LGBT aging for the better.” http://stumaddux.com/gen_silent_about.html View the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV3O8qz6Y5g In addition, the Ithaca College Gerontology Institute is pleased to offer the NURSES’ HEALTH EDUCATION ABOUT LGBT ELDERS (HEALE) CULTURAL COMPETENCY CURRICULUM on Wednesday, April 8, provided by the Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago.
