About
The Center for LGBTQ Health Equity and the ElderPride Council cordially invite you to join us as we celebrate National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day 2025.
Founded in Baltimore and now celebrated coast to coast, National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day, or Elders Day, was created to foster awareness and show appreciation for the lifetime of contributions made by LGBT Elders. This special day of recognition was added to the National Days Registry by the Center for LGBTQ Health Equity in 2016 and is a pillar in our ElderPride program serving community members age 50+. The gains made by our community sit squarely on the backs of those whose struggles and victories, extraordinary courage, and everyday authenticity pioneered the LGBTQ equality movement. As we now face new threats and hostility, we are reminded that we have seen this before. Every one of our LGBT Elders has lived amidst the fires of change, through triumphs and struggles. We honor their courage and tenacity, and we seek their wisdom and guidance as we face new perils and challenges. Our Elders hold our history.
