Abstract:
Abstract Background: There have been several international reviews about aging LGBTQI health and living conditions, but where policy, social insurance, and services differ. The Public Health Agency of Sweden was given a government assignment to review the literature on LGBTI, emphasizing Scandinavian literature. Method: This scoping review includes peer-reviewed literature published in English or Scandinavian languages from January 1, 2012, to May 2022. Literature was searched in PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS), Social Science Database, Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts (ASSIA), and Sociological Abstracts, Sociology Database. Initially, 11,428 articles were found. After removing duplicates using Rayyan and reviewing titles and abstracts, 54 articles were read in full. After the final review, 16 articles remained. Thematic analysis was used to produce themes from the reviewed literature. Findings: The following two themes were identified: Aspects of health and Living conditions. Studies were primarily interpretive. There is a lack of studies about some subgroups of older LGBTQ people in this context; for instance, there are insufficient studies on older lesbian women and gay men. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies on somatic health for older LGBTQ people, generally. Comparatively, albeit in small samples, we better understand trans descriptions of aging than lesbian women and gay men. There were no studies found on intersex individuals. Implications: There remains a paucity of literature regarding the life and living conditions for LGBTQI older adults in Nordic countries.

Abstract:
Research suggests health, social care, and social work professionals who are highly religious, and adhere closely to traditional doctrine, are more likely to take a negative view of LGBTQ people. This includes those who provide services to older people. Negative attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and/or queer (LGBTQ) people can translate into poor care and even abuse. This commentary discusses recent literature on older LGBTQ people’s experiences of religious abuse. It highlights the concerns among many older LGBTQ people about care from religious based providers where religion becomes a factor leading to abuse, associated with microaggressions, psychological abuse, harassment, discriminatory abuse, neglect, and poor care. Even though only a minority of religious care providers may hold negative attitudes towards LGBTQ people, and even fewer may allow this to inform poor/abusive practice, this is nonetheless an area of concern and merits further investigation. All care providers, including those with strongly held religious beliefs, should deliver equally good, affirmative, non-abusive care to older LGBTQ people, and to LGBTQ people of all ages.<strong>Key words</strong>LGBTQ; religious care providers; abuse; adult protection; equality and human rights; law

Abstract:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) communities have faced a history of discriminatory incidents with deleterious effects on mental health and wellness. Compounded with other historically marginalized identities, LGBTQ+ people of color continue to experience disenfranchisement, inequities, and invisibility, leading to complex experiences of oppression and resilience. Moving into later stages of life span development, older adults of color in LGBTQ+ communities navigate unique nuances within their transitions. The article addresses the following goals to connect relational–cultural theory (RCT) as a relevant theoretical framework for counseling with older LGBTQ+ adults of color: (a) explication of conceptual and empirical research related to older LGBTQ+ adults of color; (b) outline of key principles involved in the RCT approach; and (c) RCT applications in practice and research for older LGBTQ+ adults of color.

Abstract:
Abstract Halberstam describes the queer art of failure as a performance of dissidence in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer plus (LGBTQ+) people willing reject traditional conceptualizations of success. Yet, dominant theoretical frameworks in gerontology are predicated upon notions of success and productivity which may be problematic for understanding the life trajectories of LGBTQ+ people. The use of such heteronormative frameworks has implications for gerontological research in two important ways: 1) Research methods and researchers themselves may be constrained by the normative expectations placed on LGBTQ+ people and 2) Heteronormative frameworks obscure the nuance of LGBTQ+ older adults’ lived experiences and may limit important contributions to gerontological knowledge. This symposium applies the queer art of failure to examine LGBTQ+ aging scholarship that deviates from traditional research and education. Speaker one shares experiences from LGBTQ+ individuals facing dementia, using concepts that counter framing dementia as pathology and decline. Speaker two discusses how participants’ preferences for receiving research results via found poetry may reflect LGBTQ+ participants’ natural inclination to question hegemonic norms. Speaker three describes collaborating with a coalition of LGBTQ+ older adults of color on a participatory action research study, detailing how epistemic tensions shaped the research in unexpected ways. Speaker four discusses how institutional failure led to enthusiasm for LGBTQ+ curriculum development, student mentoring, and knowledge production. These presentations suggest that the inclusion of diverse conceptualizations of success and productivity should inform future aging scholarship, as they may center the experiences of historically marginalized populations such as LGBTQ+ older adults.

Abstract:
Canada has a unique socio-political history concerning the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people. With aging populations, understanding diverse groups of older adults is paramount. We completed a systematic search and scoping review of research in Canada to quantify and articulate the scale and scope of research on LGBTQ+ aging. Our search identified over 4000 results and, after screening for relevance, our review focused on 70 articles. Five major themes in the literature on LGBTQ+ aging in Canada were identified: (1) risk, (2) HIV, (3) stigma, and discrimination as barriers to care, (4) navigating care and identity, (5) documenting the history and changing policy landscapes. Most of the articles were not focused on the aging, yet the findings are relevant when considering the lived experiences of current older adults within LGBTQ+ communities. Advancing the evidence on LGBTQ+ aging involves improving the quality of life and aging experiences for LGBTQ+ older adults through research.

Abstract:
Abstract Faith communities can provide older adults support as they plan for end-of-life care, but how this support unfolds for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people is uncertain. Although many LGBTQ+ people experience marginalization within faith communities, they also report experiences of acceptance and affirmation. This mixed-methods study investigates how LGBTQ+ older adults’ involvement in faith communities shape their end-of-life care perceptions and preparation. First, we analyze panel data from the Vanderbilt University Social Networks, Aging, and Policy Study (N=1,256) to assess the relationship between faith community involvement and levels of social support. We find that 63% of older LGBTQ+ respondents identify with a religious affiliation, and 31% attend religious services several times a year or more. Attending religious services several times a year are more is associated with having a spouse in the household (11.4 vs 7.1%, p&lt;.05) and reporting larger personal networks (11.7 vs 9.9 individuals; p&lt;.001). Service attendance is also associated with having support when seeking advice about important decisions and having social support from friends. In the second portion of our study, we analyze data from in-depth interviews with 47 LGBTQ+ older adults to understand how faith communities influence preparation for end-of-life care. Many interviewees described their faith communities as guides that help them select reliable healthcare providers and formulate their end-of-life care plans. Overall, these findings reveal important ways that faith communities can foster social support and promote optimal end-of-life care among older LGBTQ+ adults.

Abstract:
Abstract It is no surprise to many that the impact of Covid-19 on older adults, particularly LGBTQ and people of color has been detrimental, not just physically, but mentally, socially, and economically. Many African American/Black adults have suffered disproportionately during the pandemic. In terms of Social Security more than nine in 10 (93%) older Black Americans report that having adequate Social Security benefits is important, but for the many who were forced to retire early due to the pandemic, they will be at a disadvantage. LGBTQ older adults experience persistent discrimination due to sexual orientation or gender identity. When the LGBTQ individual was African American/Black, experiences of discrimination were higher and often occurred in the workplace. These forms of discrimination are directly impacts ones earning potential both during active work years and in retirement savings. AARP has a long history of being an advocate for marginalized and vulnerable adults. AARP staff will discuss policy needs and what the post pandemic workplaces needs to ensure that older LGBTQ people can thrive in the workplace with dignity and respect. The 2021 AARP’s Vital Voices research will be used to showcase the economic impact the pandemic has had on older adults, African American communities, Hispanic/Latino communities, Asian Pacific Islander communities and LGBTQ communities. AARP staff will discuss strategies and tactics needed to ensure that opportunities for economic recovery for older adults. The survey gathers information to gauge opinions on a range of topics as well as breaking and current issues.

Abstract:
Abstract This past year, the lives of vulnerable older adults, including those within the older LGBTQ+ community have been disrupted dramatically, as has the research agendas designed to improve their lives. Older people, including LGBTQ+ older adults with dementia, have been placed at increased risk for social isolation and mental health issues during COVID, making viable interventions even more crucial. Additionally, how research is conducted within these communities needed to be adjusted in order to preserve viability. This symposium draws upon data from the National Health Aging and Sexuality/Gender study, the first longitudinal study of LGBTQ+ older adults in the United States, as well as data from Aging with Pride: IDEA (Innovations in Dementia Empowerment and Action), the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to improve quality of life of LGBTQ+ adults living with dementia and their care partners. (1) Kim and Fredriksen Goldsen examine modifiable behavioral and social factors that can improve quality of life among LGBTQ+ older adults with cognitive impairment. (2) Fredriksen Goldsen, Teri, Emlet and colleagues present initial efficacy findings from the IDEA study and how the intervention needed to be altered to be viable in a COVID world. (3) The importance of Motivational Interviewing (MI) as part of a LGBTQ+ sensitive intervention designed for LGBTQ+ older adults with dementia and their care partners is discussed by Petros, Fredriksen Goldsen and Teri. As COVID continues to impact vulnerable populations as well as research and service delivery, identifying new and innovative strategies will become increasingly important.

Abstract:
There is a lack of research on older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) adults. This systematic review aimed to synthesize Japanese and Swedish qualitative research on LGBTQ adults aged 60 years or older following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Japanese and Swedish articles, published in English, were searched across ASSIA, CINAHL, Medline, PsychINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Sociological Abstracts databases. Additional searches were conducted to include studies in Japanese or Swedish. There were no papers from Japan, whereas five from Sweden were reviewed. One article was excluded due to the wrong phenomenon. Four articles were included, involving 48 participants aged 60–94 years. We summarized the findings using a deductive thematic synthesis. Two major themes emerged: (a) quality of life, minority joy, and resilience (positive aspects), and (b) discrimination, stigmatization, and minority stress (negative aspects). The participants wished to be acknowledged for their own assets and unique life histories, and to be treated as everyone else. They emphasized the importance of knowledge of LGBTQ issues among nursing staff, so that older LGBTQ people are treated in a competent and affirmative way. The study revealed several important topics for understanding older LGBTQ adults’ life circumstances and the severe lack of qualitative studies in Japan and Sweden.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the implications of COVID-19 for civility as public-mindedness. First, the pandemic has exacerbated various types of morally uncivil behaviour, such as discrimination and hate. Moreover, COVID-19 has created opportunities for some political actors to put forward sectarian agendas, grounded in partial interests and controversial beliefs, that breach the demands of justificatory civility. Furthermore, some policies to contain the pandemic have resulted in unreasonable ‘strains of commitment’ for members of marginalized sectors of the population, such as racial minorities, women, the LGBTIQ+ community, and older people; governments should acknowledge this aspect when publicly justifying these policies. Finally, justificatory civility during the pandemic has been undermined by scientific uncertainty around particular aspects of the virus itself; limited research on its social and cultural dimensions; and the politicization of science for personal or partisan advantage. The chapter advances numerous suggestions to counteract these challenges to moral and justificatory civility.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the aging demographic in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and across Canada that is changing the way communities function. It examines the intersection of age and diversity that compound the daily experience of aging, which subject older adults to a 'double jeopardy' in accessing important spaces, services, and opportunities for health and wellbeing. It also mentions age-friendly community development, popularized by the World Health Organization's Age-Friendly Cities Guide, which encompasses an approach to the physical, social, and political fabric of cities and includes a careful consideration of older-adult lived experience. The chapter highlights the age-friendly development theory, which considers the social capital as a foundational component to healthy and sustainable aging infrastructure. It analyzes the experiences of two of the most at-risk or isolated communities among the overall older adult population in Saskatoon: the members of the LGBTQ community, and those experiencing physical or cognitive frailty.

Abstract:
This chapter studies four new realities which need to be considered in addressing the needs of the aging population. First, healthy aging is the ultimate example of prevention in action. To age in a healthy way, we have to prevent disease from taking hold, suggesting a redoubled effort in preventing some of the conditions—such as obesity and substance use—that result in unhealthy older life. Second, we must take steps such as creating more accessible built environments, and ensuring older adults have volunteer opportunities, to make sure populations remain integrated in communities as they age. Third, we must close health gaps that exist among aging populations. These include gaps created by race, LGBTQ status, and socioeconomic status. Finally, we need to intensify our efforts to tackle the health challenges that older people face, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract:
Despite the sociolegal changes that have signalled greater acceptance of sexual diversity and gender expansive identities in the twenty-first century, worldwide studies highlight the increased risk of mental health problems and suicidality for those with a sexual and/or gender minority status. This chapter discusses this increased risk of suicidality among sexual and gender minority populations across the life course. A recurring theme is that those who are less sure of their status, are most at risk. Therefore, the capacity of an individual to overcome internalized minority stress, stigma, guilt, and shame, and to reconcile, even take pride, in their sexual/gender status, is a significant issue. While sociolegal, cultural, and familial norms may seem beyond the remit of mental health professionals, affirmative and inclusive actions can be taken to support questioning youth, unsure adults, and distrustful older people, and to help improve the resilience and well-being of their LGBTQ+ service-users.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the characteristics and causal relationships of the physical and symbolic barriers that cause the lack of access to services in the cities of Ecuador, through a qualitative methodological approach. Its starting points are the concepts of discrimination and segregation towards the "priority attention groups", which include: children and older adults; women and the LGBTIQ+ population; people with disabilities; people in a situation of mobility (migrants); and people who define themselves as indigenous or native peoples. With this diversity of actors, a CAP methodology (knowledge, attitudes, and practices) has been applied, obtaining as a result that the people who perceive the most discrimination and segregation within Ecuadorian cities are middle-aged and elderly indigenous women and migrants, mainly Venezuelans. Keywords: Discrimination, priority care groups, segregation, fragmentation. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las características y relaciones causales de las barreras físicas y simbólicas que provocan la falta de acceso a servicios en las ciudades del Ecuador, a través de una postura metodológica cualitativa. Su punto de partida constituye los conceptos de discriminación y segregación hacia lo que la Constitución ecuatoriana denomina como “grupos de atención prioritaria” (GAP), que comprenden: las niñas, niños y adultos mayores; las mujeres y población LGBTIQ+; las personas con discapacidad; las personas en situación de movilidad (migrantes); las personas que se autodefinen como indígenas o pueblos originarios; y hacia personas que pertenece a asentamientos informales. Con esta diversidad de actores se ha aplicado una metodología CAP (conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas), obteniendo como resultado que existe una marcada transversalidad e intersección de los procesos discriminatorios y de segregación en las ciudades ecuatorianas y, quienes se llevan la peor parte, son las mujeres indígenas y los inmigrantes, especialmente provenientes de Venezuela. Palabras clave: Discriminación, grupos de atención prioritaria, segregación, fragmentación.
