I’ve worked in aged care for over 40 years and have seen cases where people have been abused simply for being gay by other residents whilst care staff have laughed and turned a blind eye! Even one suspicious death at a hostel in north Melbourne shortly after I’d have enough and resigned. It’s been taunted that a nursing home for retired Gays* for many years, and why not? nearly every religion has exemptions for everything. Remember the lard pub in Collingwood Melbourne they have an exemption that applies to women. What we need is somewhere safe where we can be ourselves without fear or threat! The elderly are beautiful souls gay, bi or straight! They deserve the right to dignity and safety in their own home!
