Queer Elders

When the Trevor Project, a nonprofit that provides crisis support to LGBTQ+ youth, asked young people what brings them joy, some of their answers included “Happy LGBT Elders,” “Queer role models” and “Learning I’m not alone." A number of proposed anti-LGTBQ bills has many younger queer people on edge, and we hope to highlight individuals they can look up to and see themselves becoming in this occasional series.
