"Everything used to be better?" From a gay perspective, this sentence is certainly not true if you think back to Paragraph 175 or the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
Life in old age
At some point in our lives, we all reach the point where we look back on a large part of our lives and ask ourselves: "What's next?" We inform you about offers for gay men in old age and on topics such as retirement planning or lust and love in old age.
Today's gay men over 50 were the first to go out in public to demonstrate in favour of equality. This gay generation is now getting visibly older in the truest sense of the word.
Karl, Julio, Jean-Claude and Karl are between 60 and 66 years young. They talk about how they have sex even at an advanced age, what their desires are and what challenges they face. Whether they are in a relationship, single or having a paid fuck, sex can be very diverse even in old age.
What should you do if you need help in old age? Can you still live openly gay in a care home? How can you make provisions, what can you plan for? These and many other questions are of concern to gay men who are getting old - regardless of their HIV status. Silke Eggers from Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe provides information and tips.
