The aging of gay men is as revolutionary as the movements for gay liberation and AIDS. With the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, we are witnessing a new phenomenon: gay men entering old age. This event is transforming our views of old age; the composition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities; and the field of gerontology. Queer Aging addresses the timely question: What is like to be an older gay man? It brings the stories and the voices of a diverse group of men-black, Latino, and white-to uncover the aging experience and examine how race, AIDS, and age together are shaping the lives of these men.
