Access and equity in the design and delivery of health and social care to LGBTQ older adults: A Canadian perspective [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Inquiries into the lived experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) older adults offer the potential to critically assess current social and health care systems, shedding light on the extent to which diverse populations have access to equitable services. Research on the older LGBTQ community has burgeoned within the past decade due in large part to the resistance, resilience, and advocacy work of LGBTQ seniors and their allies, whose collective lives have been captured only recently in gerontological literature (M. T. Brown, 2009; Fredriksen-Goldsen & Muraco, 2010). Although in terms of legal equality, particularly in Canada, there have been tremendous strides in acknowledging the histories of struggle and social marginalization within LGBTQ communities, themes of invisibility continue to serve as a crucial backdrop to their stories of aging. Health and social care services are implicated in the social exclusion and marginalization of LGBTQ older adults through histories of discrimination in which heterosexism, homophobia, and transphobia were institutional, and gender expressions and sexualities beyond hetero- and cisnormativity were pathologized. In this chapter, we discuss the accessibility of health and social care to LGBTQ older adults within a Canadian context. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)
