Join Openhouse and Seniors•At•Home for a powerful evening of film and discussion on Thursday, October 6, 5:30 – 8:00 pm.

Gen Silent examines how years of oppression have left many LGBT elders not just afraid, but dangerously isolated. The film documents the lives of six seniors. As we watch the challenges these men and women face, we are offered new hope as each person crosses paths with impassioned people trying to change LGBT aging for the better.
