This is a generic issue.
I have thought I’d have no problem in a nursing home at my age, no one would care about my sexuality—I of course have not been “active” for years anyway. But I would stay in my house as long as possible because it is easier, and actually cheaper for me and the goernement/social security/medicare/medicaid, etc. That is the blessing and question about Triangle Square in Hollywood and the one they are planning in Philadelphia. Most retirement places now have regular apartments or rooms and then a section for later when you need assistance, etc. But except for these two, they are expensive and of course these two are gay-friendly.

They are breaking ground for Chicago's Gay Senior Residence building in January. 76 units, I think. Built on the site of the police station where we were all arrested during the 90s Act-UP protests. Occupancy in fall of 2014.
That is really great—both the building and the “location.” The one in L. A. is on Ivar Street, but the other street, which I can't remember, is the old cruising street in Hollywood.
Selma?
