- Title
The Structural Roots of Ageism and Ableism: What It Means for LGBTQ+ Older Adults.
- Authors
Adams, Michael
- Abstract
Ageism and ableism are structural phenomena that negatively shape the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ older adults and older people from all communities. Addressing the needs and aspirations of LGBTQ+ elders requires dismantling structural ageism and ableism. This article explores the roots and impact of ageism and ableism on elders and suggests pathways for mitigating their impact, including building upon decades of experience and learning, and adopting the successful strategies deployed by the disability rights movement.
