LGBTQ+ Older Adults: Updates and Emerging Threats January 28, 2026

LGBTQ+ older adults face many barriers in accessing the health, economic, and legal services they need to age with dignity. Unfortunately, since taking office in 2025, the administration has unleashed a new round of attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, including older adults, rolling back their civil rights and rendering them invisible through policy while unleashing hateful rhetoric. These attacks will only exacerbate the existing inequities LGBTQ+ older adults experience.

Justice in Aging and our partners SAGE and Lambda Legal will provide a high-level overview of major issues facing LGBTQ+ older adults in 2026. This webinar will also provide advocates with information regarding the impacts on LGBTQ+ older adults stemming from the President’s executive orders, including changes to gender affirming care, as well as other policy updates, and new resources from our organizations for advocates serving LGBTQ+ older adults.
