Headline: Advocates hail first aged-care facilities for gays
Teaser: Gay rights advocates are hailing a Government decision to recognise the specific needs of elderly gay people, with three aged-care facilities being built specifically for gay and lesbian people currently in the works.
Halfway down the page: the Government is going to legislate and include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex older people in the Aged Care Act
(This is a quote, mind you, the journalist might well have left bisexual, transgender and intersex people out of the article altogether given the chance. Too confusing, you know. And let's not even start on other identities like being genderqueer...)
Anyway, the news itself is good. I was actually just discussing this with my mum, who eventually had to put her atheist parents into religious nursing homes because that's all she could find. Grandma complained that noone appreciated her pro same sex marriage stance :)
Also I have decided that this is my bisexuality icon until something better comes along.
