Diverse Elders Coalition

LGBTQ+ Elders · Minnesota · Free

National advocacy coalition working on behalf of diverse elders including LGBTQ+ older adults. Useful for elders whose biological family is estranged and who need chosen-family-aware support systems. Many LGBTQ+ senior centers offer programs, meals, and peer companionship — often free with suggested donation. Estate planning is critical: without wills + medical proxies, hostile family can override partners and chosen family. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Minnesota residents and allies.
