EP 40 Gen Silent: A Film About Aging in the LGBT Community : Joe Applebaum

Listen here

Bobbi and Mike talk with documentary film producer Joe Applebaum about The Clowder Group’s award-winning film, Gen Silent.

The film explores the issue of aging in the LGBT community and features six homosexual seniors discussing the growing trend of going back in the closet so as to avoid discrimination in their golden years.

“It is incredibly important, the need as you age, to have a support group.” Joe says. “I'm sure that you will agree with me, but that's even more so in the LGBT community because of what's happened in our community.”

“I can't say enough about what we have to do to make the elderly in the LGBT community feel safe and welcome in caregiving facilities.” Joe says.
