| Summary |
"Sociological Analysis of Aging: The Gay Male Perspective is an exploratory study of the life changes homosexual and bisexual men experience as they age. This unique book presents in-depth, qualitative interviews with gay men, aged 55 and older, focusing on their physical, mental, and social needs. More than one hundred men offer firsthand perceptions on the unique problems they face with regard to employment/retirement, housing, health and well-being, relationships, and how they function within (or without) a social support system."--Jacket |
