			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.newsweek.com/2010/05/26/we-re-here-we-re-queer-we-re-retiring.html" target=new>An interesting article in Newsweek</a> this week speaks to the growing number of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) retirement communities in America. Although the article throws around the commonplace &#8220;LGBT&#8221; tag, it really only discusses lesbian and gay communities and makes no mention of other orientations. Either way, there are now 25, apparently, though they don&#8217;t typically disallow non-LGBT people (and in most cases it&#8217;s not legal to do so anyway). There&#8217;s some interesting insight in the article. A couple of gay friends of mine recently mentioned the idea of gay/straight retirement communities to me, and I was surprised only because I hadn&#8217;t heard of them. I wouldn&#8217;t imagine that when my generation grows older it would be an issue to co-mingle, but I suppose in any generation there will might be discrimination, and LGBT people may prefer to just keep it simple. Either way, check out the article!</p>

I encourage y&#8217;all to check it out –- from the sound of it, Helen is truly an inspiration for living life to the fullest into one&#8217;s later years. I&#8217;ll need to brush up on my undergrad neuroscience so that if she and I meet up we&#8217;ve got a few things to talk about! Thanks to my friend Flora for pointing me to this article about her classmate.</p>
