If you click the tweet and read the article in The Boston Globe, you’ll realize that the piece is actually about the challenges facing LGBTQ people as they grow older: finding accepting caregivers, fitting into nursing homes, and so on.
Let’s just say it’s a story that deserved a far better tweet to promote it.
Older gays and lesbians can’t always depend on close relatives as caregivers. A report found that LGBTQ seniors were three to four times less likely to have children than their heterosexual peers. https://t.co/6zKNb3gQGu pic.twitter.com/pXmVhkQGlQ
