This resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of a "National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day," recognizing the significant contributions and unique challenges faced by LGBTQI+ older adults. It highlights that this population is projected to grow substantially, reaching 7 million by 2030, and often experiences higher rates of poverty, homelessness, and poor health outcomes. These disparities are frequently exacerbated by discrimination and a lack of family support. The resolution encourages various entities, including federal and state governments, schools, and community organizations, to observe this day with programs designed to increase public understanding of these health disparities and challenges. Furthermore, it calls upon healthcare providers to deliver culturally and clinically competent care to LGBTQI+ elders. Finally, the resolution urges federal and state governments, along with international funding and aid organizations, to prioritize the health and human rights of LGBTQI+ elders in their efforts.
