more about the history and purpose of the Day and join the
conversation with our social media toolkit.
The nationwide celebration includes a flagship event in
Baltimore at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall on May 16; to learn more about
the event and get tickets, click here."It's important to celebrate
elders every day," said Sam McClure, director of the Center for
LGBTQ Health Equity, which inaugurated the national day of
recognition in Baltimore in 2016. "Respect for those with more
experience is an essential element of civility. In
intergenerational dialogues, we discover we have differing opinions
based on our experiences and perspectives. I love seeing Elders and
youth learning from each other."
McClure is available to speak to media to further discuss the
important of LGBT Elders in our communities and the evolution of
National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day. For an interview, contact Dan
