 New Metlife Study Of LGBT Boomer
One-Third Live Alone; Only Half Live With A
Partner/Spouse
Most Look To Families Of Choice For Support As They Prepare For Later
Life
LGBT Baby Boomers have withstood many years of discrimination and say
their approach to retirement and aging has been shaped by these
experiences. "Still Out, Still Aging: The MetLife Study of Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Baby Boomers," conducted with the
American Society on Aging (ASA) and its constituent group, the LGBT
Aging Issues Network (LAIN), shows LGBT Boomers will approach retirement
differently than the general population and most will delay retirement
until they are 70. Largely single and living alone, they will rely more
on close friends than family for support as they age.

Coming Out
By The Editors of Jungle Campus
There is a general trend toward increased acceptance of gays and
lesbians in America. For example, a majority of Americans favor the
repeal of the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy, which
prevents openly gay personnel from serving. Attitudes toward gay
marriage, or at the very least, legally similar civil unions, have also
gotten more progressive.
Yet, coming out at work remains an anxiety inducing thought for many
because of the unhurried adoption of inclusive policies by some
companies, the conflicting state laws governing discrimination against
gays and lesbians, and the varying levels of acceptance of homosexuality
from region to region and company to company.

 Gay Delray: Paradise Found!
Written by: Margaret Fox, gaytravel.com
For those who think that South Florida's gay scene is confined to South
Beach, a trip north to Delray is like a breath of fresh air. Delray Beach provides a sunny, relaxing, slower-paced
getaway only an hour's drive north of Miami. Delray has a quiet,
small-town feel, but no one will give a second glance at a same-sex
couple holding hands on the beach. There's plenty
to do in town, and the club scene, when you want it, is no more than
half an hour away. Read on...
