Join us for a multi-generational potluck of the LGBTQIA2+ Allies Qmmunity of the greater Austin area.
While our main focus is ages 18-110 this is a family friendly event we just request that any minors attend with their guardian.
Feel free to bring a homemade dish, store bought treat, or just you to gather and celebrate our GAYMAZING Qmmunity.
This is a sober event, and we appreciate your cooperation.
SAGE Table is a national project created by SAGE, the country's oldest and most known agency providing advocacy and resources to the older adult LGBTQIA2+ Qmmunity.
Info about SAGE Table:
Loneliness and social isolation threaten everyone as we age—but they’re more likely to be problems for LGBTQ+ older adults.
Older people who are LGBTQ+ are:
2x as likely to be single and live alone
4x less likely to have children to care for them
Older LGBTQ+ people have additional barriers that reinforce isolation:
2 in 5 feel disconnected from the younger LGBTQ+ community
9 in 10 expect healthcare providers to discriminate against them
Through SAGE Table, we can reach out—person by person, community by community—to connect with one another. Together, we can build our own, real-life social network to support our LGBTQ+ elders.
Accessibility:
All Rainbow Connections ATX events are free, near parking & public transportation, and ADA compliant.
