Nearly 9 million people identify as an LGBT elder in the United States, according to a 2016 Gallup Survey. These older than average adults face more challenges than any other age group. Among the most common problems LBGT elders face on a daily basis are discrimination, social stigma, and loneliness. However, older LGBT people are often ignored when care is needed.
