Have you ever considered...

My project focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT) elderly people.  Until this project, I never really considered what it could have been like for a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT) individual in the 40's, 50's, or 60's.  I'll bet you never really considered it either. 

My background is in health care and long-term care (nursing homes) for the elderly.  I began thinking about LGBT elders and health care.  I never considered what it might be like if their loved one was hospitalized.  Watch this brief video clip (link below) and leave me a comment about how it made you feel.

  1. Hi Melissa!
    I saw this movie, and was actually thinking of this when you told me about your project. I think it is a very moving piece, and would definitely convey the importance of your project. My only concern is that this is six minutes long, so I don't know if that would be too long for the exhibition. Check with your academic liasion but if they give you the go ahead, then I would definitely use it!
