These people are not only morally bankrupt but I would say spiritually bankrupt as well. What kind of human being wishes to inflict such grevious levels of harm among a group of people they refuse to know or understand? Clearly they haven’t worked through their own suffering enough to be able to be less reactive and clear minded about how their beliefs impact others. #lgbtq #queer #trans #lgbthistory #mindfulness

* embracing aging isn’t easy
* can be esp. difficult for 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors who are long-term HIV survivors

Comment: I am a volunteer board member at two 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors advocacy non-profits.
This is a significant concern generally; more so given resurgent conservatism.
