Abstract: 

Recently, USA Today ran an article discussing the establishment of two groundbreaking facilities. One showed a photo of seniors sitting together, chatting, having their coffee, and eating cookies. Sounds like a scene that occurs across the country every day. However, these activities took place at the first lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) senior center located in Rochester, NY. The other is in Chicago, where a 79-unit housing complex for older gay adults is due to be completed in late 2013. This is the second such complex; the first is in Los Angeles.

Keywords: LGBT senior center located in Rochester, NY; housing complex for older gay adults
