This symposium presents new research augmenting the recognition of LGBT individuals as a diverse new ageing population worthy of more attention within gerontology. While some of the issues facing LGBT older adults are similar to all older people, research identifies separate issues that need to be addressed for older LGBT people entering their later and last years of life. In particular, this symposium addresses the legacy of living through times when social attitudes were less tolerant and legislation criminalised rather than protected LGBT citizens. The papers by Almack et al., and De Fries et al., focus on the unique experiences and diversity of support needs of LGBT older people towards the end of life, in the UK and Canada respectively; Higgins et al., offers reflections on the experience of ageing as an older LGBT person in Ireland, Bromseth explores LGBT elders' experiences of geriatric care within Sweden and Zamora's paper looks more closely at the intersections of childless ageing and LGB ageing. All five papers raise issues of intersections between ageing, gender identity and sexual orientation in different situational and geographical contexts. The symposium will also offer insights which contribute to broader understandings of the heterogeneity of ageing. Professor Brian Heaphy, who has published widely on LGBT ageing, will be our discussant, pulling together the unique and fascinating insights into experiences, issues and concerns of this newly visible ageing population. ABSTRACT 1. Title Navigating Personal Networks: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans Older Peoples Networks Of Support Towards The End Of Life Authors Kathryn Almack, Anne Patterson and Meiko Makita University of Nottingham, UK Background This paper examines how sexual orientation and gender identity may impact on experiences of ageing and end of life care in the UK. Research has identified institutional and historical barriers that mean older LGBT people may be reluctant to disclose central aspects of their identity. Attendant impacts include reluctance to access formal care services and reliance on single generational networks of support. Methods Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 60 LGBT people (aged 60 and over) as part of a two-year project funded by Marie Curie Cancer Care. This included asking participants to 'map out' their support networks on paper ('eco-mapping') while describing what support (practical and emotional) they accessed and from whom, as well as questions asked exploring preferences for support. Results Participants' personal networks were complex with varying degrees of importance placed upon friends, families and kinship at the end of life. This ranged from participants who identified multiple sources of support across different generations to those who built their networks among LGB or T allies and a smaller number ageing alone with limited networks. Conclusions To some extent, our findings challenge dominant narratives from existing LGBT research about limited single generation support networks and the absence of support from families of origin. Participants' networks presented a complex diversity and richness including families of origin and of choice. It is clear however that LGBT older adult's histories and pathways have ongoing profound influences on the means of social support available to individuals at the end of life. ABSTRACT 2. Title End of Life Discussions among LGBT Older Canadians Authors Brian de Vries1, Gloria Gutman1, Line Chamberland2, Janet Fast3, Jacqueline Gahagan4, Aine Humble5, and Steven Mock6. ԰AV, Canada University of Quebec at Montreal, Canada University of Alberta, Canada Dalhousie University, Canada Mount St. Vincent University, Canada University of Waterloo, Canada Background Older LGBT people are more likely to rely on non-traditional families for support at end of life; how then are these experiences anticipated, organized, planned? These are the questions that drive this research. Methods As part of a larger project, four focus groups were conducted in each of five cities across Canada: Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax. Groups comprised gay and bisexual men, lesbians and bisexual women, transgender women and men, and services providers. The discussions focused on end of life planning to date, barriers and facilitators of such planning, and how technology might be engaged to assist in this process. Results Preliminary results from the Vancouver focus groups, and two pilot groups, suggest that: for Lesbians and Transgender persons, the context within which end of life is considered is strongly influenced by prior, exclusionary interactions with the medical environment; for Gay men, conversations about care were rare with some expectation that the community would once again rise to provide what is needed as was done during the AIDS crisis; participants expressed some reservations about the use of technology while at the same time recognizing its value for creating community and knowledge transfer. Conclusion Results will be shared in town hall meetings in each city where information about local supports and agencies will also be provided. The final product will be a website dedicated to LGBT persons to facilitate document access and preparation, discussion boards and community formation. ABSTRACT 3. Title LGBT People: Experiences Of Geriatric Care In Sweden Author Janne Bromseth Stockholm University, Sweden Background As knowledge on gender and sexuality norms in school and work life has increased in the last decade, this is still a gravely under researched topic, addressing the intersections between heteronormativity and ageism in particular. This paper explores experiences of heteronormativity and homophobia in home care and assisted living services amongst elder LGBT-persons in Sweden. Methods An interview study of elder non-heterosexual and transgender persons (aged 60+) living in a large and a small Swedish city. The methods used are ethnographically inspired, with a combination of individual and group interviews. Results Findings concur with other international studies that suggest many elder non-heterosexual and transgender persons have experienced and/or are anxious of experiencing harassment, othering and mistreatment if they are open with their 'deviant' sexuality or gender identity. Many participants chose to not be open and/or to postpone getting the help that they need. They are also, to a larger degree, dependent on the public health care system (as well as friends and partners) since a larger number do not have children on their own and often have more complicated relationships with their biological families. Conclusions In Sweden LGBT people are protected by strong anti-discrimination laws, but in practice in the area of geriatric care, there are still issues to address to alleviate identified fears and concerns. ABSTRACT 4. Title Building Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Narratives of Older Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans people in Ireland Authors Agnes Higgins, Danika Shirak, Eddie McCann, Fintan Sheerin and Michelle Glacken Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Background This research study set out to examine the experiences and needs of LGBT people aged 55 and over living in Ireland. Specifically, this presentation will address the participants experience of minority stress and development of resilience. Methods The research design involved anonymous survey and in-depth face-to-face interviews. In total, 144 surveys were included for analysis and 36 people interviewed. This included asking participants about experience of growing up as an LGB person in Ireland and the strategies they developed and used in the face of stigma, adversity and stress. Results Findings indicated that participants used individual as well as group processes and strategies to help build their strength of spirit and resilience. This strength of spirit and resilience was not something that occurred at a particular phase or time in the persons life but was something that occurred as a result of a complex convergence of factors over time, some inevitable and others fortuitous. Conclusions Our findings suggest that despite many adverse experiences of discrimination and prejudice older LGBT people have an ability to move beyond the negative experiences, integrate their experiences and embrace their lives in a fulfilling manner, with some viewing the adversity and hardships they experienced as having made them stronger. ABSTRACT 5. Title From Childlessness To Childfree Old Age: Intersections Of Social And Sexual Identities In Becoming An Older Person Authors Gerardo Zamora1, Rosanna De la Rosa1, Mikel Otxotorena2 Universidad Publica de Navarra, Spain Independent researcher, Spain Background Current generations of self-identified LGB older individuals have witnessed major societal changes regarding the recognition of their sexual identities and choices in life. Having children and grand-children is a normative expectation for older adults; but in fact a large share of these individuals did not have children either because that was their choice or because the social (including legal) contexts did not allow them to pursue parenthood. Nowadays, so-called voluntary childlessness is increasing as a social trend, too, in self-identified heterosexuals who sometimes see their sexual identities questioned and assumed to be either lesbian or gay. This paper examines the intersections of these two processes and their implications for policy on social and health care of the growing number of childfree-by-choice adults. Methods Twelve Spanish, self-identified LGB men and women aged +50 were interviewed; only one had children. Simultaneously, an analysis of childless individuals (+2,500) from waves 1, 2 and 3 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) was carried out. Both procedures looked at practices around health and social care, as well as discourses, in the case of the interviews. Results In line with previous research on voluntarily childlessness, these individuals organise their care confronting normative assumptions of social support in old age. Along with their sexual identity, their childlessness emerges as an identity, too. Conclusions The experiences of childfree, older, self-identified LGB individuals can inform policy on social and health care for the LGB older adults, but also for the increasing childfree-by-choice population.
