ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to discuss the contribution of the Pink Passkey to LGBT-friendly provision of housing, care, and services for older people in the Netherlands. The Pink Passkey is a quality certificate for residential care, home care, and community care organizations aspiring to create a welcoming and safe environment for older LGBT adults. The chapter offers an approach to care and the city inspired by care ethics, urban citizenship theory, and practice theory. This approach is useful to identify versions of the Pink Passkey that differ in the ways in which older LGBT adults are recognized and supported as care receivers. Also, it helps to understand how practices associated with the Pink Passkey (re)shape (in)equalities in LGBT-friendly care provision. The chapter concludes that different, locally situated versions of the Pink Passkey curb, but also create new spatial inequalities in LGBT-friendly care provision between and within (urban) places.
