Friday, April 9th, 2010

Although many within the LGBT community are passionately fighting to get a number of new LGBT laws to be passed, there have been some advances that have been made in this fight throughout the years. One of the newest LGBT laws to be passed is a benefit for LGBT elders. There has been a presented growing issues of LGBT seniors not being able to get the equal access that they need to senior care facilities. Many elder LGBT members had felt that housing facilities had discriminated against them because they belong to the LGBT community. The state of California most recently decided that they must address the issue. They implemented LGBT laws in the state that stated that the licensed health care professionals at these elder care facilities must undergo diversity training. This is one of the LGBT laws that was formulated in order to eliminate the instances of bias that have been previously carried out.
