LGBTSr Celebrates 7 Years with a ‘Thank You’ and A Party Hat!

Seven years ago I posted the very first item here (Survey Focuses on Treatment of Long-Term Care for LGBT Elders). I was a mere 52 years old, a kid with a vision: to create and sustain an online space for the over-50 LGBTQ audience and our friends and allies. After an extended hiatus to do some reimagining of my life (move with my husband to our house in rural New Jersey, check; trade office cubicle for a job at a grocery story, check), the site is back and better than ever.

Thanks to all the fabulous contributors past, present and future. Thanks, too, to those who’ve taken a moment to let me know they appreciate the site and what it offers. I’ve met so very many amazing people through this, with two highlights standing out in particular: a panel I hosted at the NLGJA (National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association) in Boston with Stephanie Mott and David Webb, and being invited in 2015 to the White House National LGBT Elder Housing Summit. So happy anniversary to LGBTSr. Let’s keep embracing age and celebrating life. – Mark McNease/Publisher & Editor
