New Guide for LGBT Elders in California
A pioneering new guide gives California’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender elders comprehensive information about their rights and the services that are available to them as they navigate the system of public and social benefits. The guide is published by the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Openhouse, Lavender Seniors of the East Bay, Transgender Law Center and Planning for Elders in the Central City.
