As the Baby Boomer population ages, retirement suddenly looms large. But for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender seniors, comfortably living out the golden years can come with special challenges. We talk to some in the Bay Area who are working to change that.

Guests:

Seth Kilbourn, executive director of Openhouse, an organization that provides LGBT-friendly senior housing along with social and health services and referrals

Bill Oman, executive assistant to an academic dean at UC Berkeley and a gay resident of Rossmoor in Walnut Creek

Naomi Goldberg, Cooper public policy fellow at The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law

Patrick Larkin, coordinator for The Castro Senior Center

Nancy Flaxman, consultant on LGBT aging issues with Spectrum LGBT Center in Marin, Openhouse and The Castro Senior Center
