ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book shows that the many things not yet known about older bisexual people, and the importance of making work with older Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people more bi-inclusive. It presents an experience in running several distinct LGBT intergenerational programmes, aimed at improving understandings and relationships between younger and older LGBT people and to develop knowledge and pride in LGBT heritage. The book examines the layers and levels of intersectionality of religion, culture and ethnicity, and the need to understand LGBT ageing as a complex, multidimensional experience. It offers insights into the socio-economic circumstances of older LGBT people and the implications of austerity. The book also highlights the importance of raising awareness among service providers and developing a menu of choices of provision for older LGBT people, especially in relation to social and residential care and end-of-life care.
