Health care professionals and society in general too often fail to address the sexuality, and sexual orientation, of older adults. However, LGBT older adults are also much more likely than other generations of LGBT adults to hide their sexual orientation, as a result of a lifetime of experiencing discrimination from a society that has only recently evolved to become more accepting of homosexuality.
