Loving Our Queer Older Bodies: Sex, Relationships, and Hope

Given the societal taboos against discussing sexuality and older adults especially when it
centers LGBTQ+ older adults, this workshop will offer a unique opportunity to apply current
research and resources to your life as an aging LGBTQ+ adult. The focus of this highly-
engaging workshop is on debunking prevailing notions of LGBTQ+ elders’ sexuality, the
impacts of aging on our sexual bodies, the challenges of HIV/AIDS, the difficulties in
beginning a sexual relationship at a later age, the combination of sex and spirituality, and the
possibilities of pleasure for LGBTQ+ older adults. With frank discussion, humor, and hope,
this workshop will offer participants ample opportunities to ask about sexuality and
relationships as we age. Brought to you by: U of M Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, Rainbow Health, and Moon Palace Books.
