Concept

Queer aging

The specific experience of growing older as a queer person—navigating healthcare, community, romance, and mortality through identities that were criminalized for much of your life and remain marginalized. Queer aging asks how we care for people whose chosen families may matter more than biological kin, and whose accumulated trauma from stigma becomes inseparable from aging itself.
