Today is National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day #NGMHAAD. We recognize the disproportionate impact of the HIV epidemic on gay men, especially gay men of color. Although HIV does not discriminate, the treatment of those living with HIV has historically been discriminatory. Let's fight stigma, homophobia, discrimination, and racism today (and every day!) by unequivocally correcting lies and misconceptions about HIV and gay men. #NationalGayMensHIVAIDSAwarenessDay #EndHIVStigma #HIVAwareness #HIVPrevention #WeRefusetoBeInvisible

Family in our community can look and feel different. Many LGBTQ elders live alone because of a history of family rejection and a lack of connections or relationships. This increases risk of social isolation and loneliness, which are significant predictors of depression for older people. However, we do not have to accept this. You deserve to find a chosen family that makes you feel seen, heard, and validated. If you are ready to start building your support network, check out HearMe. This is a free, 24/7 on-demand mental wellness app that allows you to text one-on-one with trained empathetic listeners. ❤ #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth #LGBTQAging #LGBTQ #MentalHealthAwareness

Our partners at Trualta sat down with Michele Giordano, MSW, Executive Director of SAGEVenture to discuss the unique challenges LGBTQ caregivers may face, and the innovative work SAGE is doing to help these caregivers. ✨🌈 Over the past year, SAGE has launched two new divisions — SAGEServes and SAGEVenture, which are dramatically scaling SAGE’s impact on LGBTQ older people everywhere, especially those who have been historically marginalized. SAGEServes and SAGEVenture position SAGE for exponential growth with more programs and services to help vastly expand reach with freshly imagined ways to celebrate and support LGBTQ elders. #LGBTQAging #WeRefusetoBeInvisible #LGBTQCaregiving To learn about how SAGE is innovating within the LGBTQ #caregiving space, check out this two part blog series!

Marked each year since 1999, #BiVisibilityDay raises bi awareness and challenges bisexual & biromantic erasure. Today we commemorate the 25th anniversary of Bi Visibility Day! 🌈 Did you know? Today is intentionally known as Bi Visibility Day, and not Bisexuality to be inclusive of people who may identify as bisexual and biromantic, but perhaps not both. On this special day, we're here to remind you that your sexual orientation and who you love are so valid. #BiPride #BiVisibility #WeRefusetoBeInvisible 💙💜💗
