  • Jesus this made me cry. I hate the people my generation that don't value or simply ignore the huge fight for gay rights wonderful people like these endured in their lives so that we can live in a better world. Shame on them and shame on us. It is the LGBT community that has to deal with these issues, because clearly, no one else will. Less floats and more charities!

  • It's really sad to see the very people who gave us the rights we have today be forced back into the closet. I'm lucky enough to be Dutch-Canadian and in either country I can marry, adopt children and not be outed in the health care system- all thanks to the LGBTQ generation before us! So...I thank them with all my heart and hope that things will change for the better.

  • Its so sad ! I'm struggling to get out of the closet !!

    Please, I don't want to come back to closet :(

    Love and much hugs from Palestine ! And thank you for all what you have done for us,.

  • Sad!!

  • @verysoliy This old gay, by the way has been married to the same partner since 1991 and lives as an "out" married couple in a continuing care community. There are couples here who are not "out." I don't know if it is fear or natural reticence.

  • @verysoliy VerySolly, the point to this documentary is that you will not see the elderly gay for the very reason that they feel compelled to disappear again.

  • @RyanWolves just because he doesn't exist to you dont mean he doesn't exist to some others to each is own

  • :(

  • placed it on  free bad news DOT com ......... so worth watching ty

  • Elder abuse is a legal matter, and it is punishable by law in the U.S.A. Staff members are mandated reporters , and they have to call adult protective services when they suspect emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Where was this shot?

  • I think this is one of the most important documentaries out today.
