Bill > HRes424

This resolution supports the establishment of "National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day" on May 16, 2025, recognizing the unique challenges faced by LGBTQI+ older adults. The resolution highlights several key issues, including projections that the LGBTQI+ population over 50 will reach 7 million by 2030, and that these individuals are more likely to be single, live alone, face poverty, and experience health disparities. The document acknowledges the community's historical significance, particularly their roles in the Stonewall Uprising and during the AIDS epidemic, while also noting ongoing challenges such as discriminatory legislation and social stigma. The resolution calls for federal, state, and local governments, as well as nonprofit organizations and healthcare providers, to recognize and support LGBTQI+ elders by developing programs that increase public understanding of their health challenges, offering culturally competent care, and prioritizing their health and human rights in various aid and support efforts.
