AnnotationA small explorative qualitative study investigated key political activists' predictions regarding the process by which gay and lesbian older people will be included in aged care policies in the future in Australia. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with six activists in aged care and human rights. Findings are discussed in relation to three broad themes: barriers to change; the process by which gay and lesbian older people should be included in aged care policy; and strategies for success. The study identifies a need for further research to investigate aspects of the findings, particularly the collaborative process between gerontologists and gay and lesbian activists. (AKM).
