The Rainbow Lounge

The Rainbow Lounge is a meetup for LGBTQ+ adults aged 50+ to relax and meet others in the community.

Please join us for a “hip adulting group” for adults aged 50+. Rainbow Lounge is a place to relax and share ourselves with others.

We will pursue topics such as the relevance of identifying as LGBTQIA+ in our lives; benefits of growing older; our adult reality as different from our younger expectations; sex; ageism, against both old and young; health; being a mentor; growing older with grace; and nurturing our relationships.

Further, as a group with rich experience, we can anticipate that there will be no lack of topics of interest that will be generated as we move forward. Let’s enjoy our time together!

Facilitated by Tracy Bouvette (t.bouvette@lgbtqcenter.org) and Beth Weber (b.weber@lgbtqcenter.org)
