International Lesbian Day- Oct 8th


ree

October 8 marks International Lesbian Day, a time to celebrate the history, culture, and vibrant diversity of lesbian communities worldwide. Wikipedia+2LGBTIQ+ Health Australia+2 Originally embraced in Australia and New Zealand, this day invites reflection on past struggles, present achievements, and future possibilities. meridianact.org.au+1

In recent years, we’ve seen renewed calls for lesbian representation in media, politics, and activism—and for greater attention to the unique challenges lesbians face, especially within aging and healthcare sectors. For example, visibility of queer women in leadership roles and intersectional identity narratives has gained traction in public discourse.


At LGBT Senior Housing and Care, we affirm that our lesbian elders deserve recognition, dignity, and community. Our mission is to foster affirming environments where lesbian seniors can age with visibility, respect, and connection—free from invisibility or marginalization.

This International Lesbian Day, join us in:

● Raising up stories of lesbian elders and their contributions

● Supporting policies that center lesbian health, elder care, and safety

● Amplifying queer women’s voices across generations


Lesbian history is living history—and every voice matters. 🌿🏳️ 🌈
