Boosting the Signal: Gen Silent

There's this documentary circulating around film festivals, and due out on DVD some time in Spring 2011. It's called Gen Silent and it's about the elderly LGBT community and all the struggles they face, even today. The trailer is amazing and heartbreaking, and you'll probably be bawling by the end of it.

After what happened to the couple in Sonoma County, CA back in April, it's important that people start paying attention to the aging LGBT community, and how our health care system and institutes (mis)treat them. Perhaps we should have been looking at this issue a lot sooner.
