- Friends ignore antisemitism
- One of my favorite authors posted “FP” 🙄

A place for gay men and women to get together and talk about issues concerning aging life experiences more than a decade ago. This subreddit is intended, but not limited to gay men and women in their late 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s and above. This is not a subreddit for "coming out" or "first time" discussions. We have "been there" and "done that", so let's move on. This is a "we've seen it all" space to celebrate the long lives and wisdom of the mature LGBT community.
