A truly sad story

Gay and lesbian seniors are facing their own unique challenges in acquiring healthcare, the Globe and Mail reports. These are men and women who come out of an era where open, mature sexuality was considered unhealthy, and incidentally so were they. They are facing problems today due to their desire to keep their sexual orientations private - as they were conditioned to do by their neurotic society - meddling home-care workers who try to "convert" them, and general homophobia of the people who are supposed to help them.

We've still got a long way to go.
