Pride Month is an annual celebration that recognizes the LGBTQ+ community's accomplishments and advocates for equal rights and acceptance. Traditionally celebrated in June, Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, a pivotal event in LGBTQ+ history. It serves as a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community while promoting equality, acceptance, and visibility. While it is essential to celebrate progress, it is equally crucial to acknowledge the unique challenges faced by aging older adults who identify with Pride communities in the USA. This episode explores the intersectionality of aging and LGBTQ+ identity, highlighting the impact on healthy aging, healthcare disparities, and options for inclusive care.
