There are an estimated 3 million LGBT adults over the age of 55 throughout the U.S.

"It's important to celebrate elders every day," said Sam McClure, director of the LGBT Health Resource Center of Chase Brexton Health Care, which inaugurated the national day of recognition in Baltmore in 2016. "Respect for those with more experience is an essential element of civility. In intergenerational dialogues, we discover we have differing opinions based on our experiences and perspectives. I love seeing Elders and youth learning from each other."
