Annotation	In 2006, the Bournemouth charity Help and Care published the findings of a 3-year survey of older lesbians and gay men across Dorset. A member of the Gay and Grey project research team reports on issues in the survey relating to housing and residential care preferences, social care and health, and opinions on sexuality. The survey's findings not only serve to remind us that homosexuality is still an 'awkward' subject in our society, but that 'gay and grey' individuals bring a new set of expectations to the social care agenda.
