Embracing Ageing

A celebration of the fabulousness of older LGBTQ+ people

Wednesday 11th June, 11am - 1pm, Birmingham LGBT Centre

What does it mean to LGBTQ+ people’s body image to get older? Do we worry about being “too old for the scene”?

How do we age comfortably in our skin, retain our identities and fight ageist stereotypes across all age groups?

Embracing Ageing means recognising and valuing the diverse experiences of growing older, by sharing stories and engaging in conversations that highlight the many different ways we age.

Embracing Ageing is an inter-generational social discussion event for LGBTQ+ people aged 18+. Dress to express – in comfort! Refreshments available.
