End-of-life issues for LGBT elders [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This chapter explores the end-of-life issues and what makes end-of-life issues different for LGBT adults. The laws and policies relating to end-of-life have many presumptions that favor family, specifically biological or adoptive family and family from marriage. These presumptions impact health care decision-making, visitation policies, health insurance, health benefits, retirement plans, taxation, and inheritance rules. The expansion of same-sex marriage is changing this picture, but a great deal of work remains to be done. Societal homophobia impacts access to care, relationship recognition, and even funeral planning. Ageism is common in some parts of the LGBT community, casting a shadow over many LGBT elders. Many of die current generation of LGBT elders survived the darkest days of AIDS and HIV, and this experience influences their views on aging and end-of-life.
