SPRINGVALE — The critically acclaimed documentary, “Gen Silent,” about LGBT older people going back into the closet to survive, will be screened at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 25 in the Downs Conference Room at Nasson Health Care, 15 Oak St.
Organizers say that older gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people who fought the first battles for equality now face such fear of religious objection, bullying and abuse that many are hiding their identities.
A showing of this 25-minute film will be followed by a discussion facilitated by Dr. Marilyn Gugliucci, Division of Geriatrics, University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine.
For more information, or to RSVP, contact Robin Hewitt Bibber, Thriving in Place York County coordinator, at 459-2989 or robin.bibber@nassonhealthcare.org
