Gay and lesbian senior citizens in Massachusetts are calling for publicly subsidized elderly housing built specifically for them, saying they face homophobia and are often forced to go back into the closet when they move into traditional elderly complexes and nursing homes.

This form of segregation is an outstanding idea and ought to be expanded further:

Build special housing for all Homosexuals, no matter their age. Make it completely free to them, utilities and maintenance included. Locate it in some remote section of America, far away from normal folks.

It would be the best money yet spent!

That's as far as I got before I realized that if I cared any less, I'd be deceased.

Most gay men don't reach the age to be considered 'elderly'.

She said she has had some tense encounters with neighbors who dislike her lifestyle choices...
NOTE the admission that all this disgusting behavior stems from freely-made CHOICES!

Please make sure it's in a Blue State. Mass, NY or VT seem like perfect locations, as well as certain parts of Calbania.

1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual

1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

Jude 1:7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

"Build special housing for all Homosexuals, no matter their age. Make it completely free to them, utilities and maintenance included. Locate it in some remote section of America, far away from normal folks."

And, to ensure that they are well-protected from the rest of the homophobic population, I would urge very high walls built around the housing, concertina razor-wire on the top of the walls, and several machinegun towers situated at appropriate points along the perimeter of the walls.

That would be a well-designed retirement home for people such as these.

I wish minorities would make up their minds.

Do they want to be a part of general society or do they want to be apart from general society.

Are they afraid of the other old people? Honestly? Roving bands of gay-bashing, homicidal seniors rampaging their way through elder housing units? Where've I been?

Forcing decent people to spend the last years of their lives in the company of sexual deviants is simply evil.

MORE "SPECIAL RIGHTS" that they deny wanting. This is unconstitutional.

Thanks for the post!

First of all the term gay elders is an oxy-moron when it applies to male homosexuals unless they are talking about 40 year old male homosexuals who look and act like 80 year olds on their death beds. They just don't make it past 40 something except for the rare individual.

Cracking the code on this article is simple. This is an attempt to get tax payers to pay for elder gay housing for lesbians and the token gay elder male. Next will be the demand to us to pay for gay nursing and medical personnel!

This is just another attempt of the gay life style to get us to pay for their perverted and costly life style from the time they come out of the closet to their elder years! Let the rich gays who are still working pay for the special elder gay care!

Only if we get completely straight housing!!!
It's reverse discrimination.
We have to live with gays, but they don't have to live with us???? Too uncomfortable for them ???Tough!!!!
There's the black college fund, wouldn't they have a fit if we made a white college fund?
Gay housing? Wouldn't they have a fit if we wanted straight housing?
No , it's special treatment so they can have their own whore houses, paid for by our tax dollars.
No way. Vote NO NO NO.
The liberals demand special treatment, but scream when we do the same. We suffer in the schools, workplace, etc. , because we have to be with them, Let them suffer too.
Make them, by law, treat us with "tolerance" too.

My thought exactly When I read this! They cry to be "like everyone else" ,when it comes to adopting kids,or getting married..but if I can squeeze out some special perk I will agree to be "special"

I imagine elderly pedophiles, masochists and practioners of bestiality face the same problem. Should we start homes for them too?
