ARE YOU GLBT AND OVER 70?
Elizabeth Stewart (aka The Bitch Of Dupont Circle) has a new research project. She is conducting a research survey on sexual satisfaction among gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people 70 years of age and over. This will be the substance of an article she is writing for the magazine, IN THE FAMILY, a serious publication which explores the lives and relationships of GLBTs. Their Winter 2004 issue will be taking a look at those senior citizens. She has been doing lots of research, and there is very little, if anything at all, published on this important topic. The editor says the article will be read by thousands of mental health professionals around the country who work with senior citizens in the gay community.

Are you eligible and interested? If so, please contact her to participate in the survey, which is 13 really interesting questions and will take about 10 minutes to complete, depending on how much you care to write. Others, please spread the word about the survey to any 70+ GLBTs--including seniors' organizations or online seniors' communities. The more people who respond, the more accurate picture she will be able to draw about sexuality among our elder community.

All responses will be anonymous. She doesn't need to know names or any other identifying information. Snail mail responses are also acceptable, but she needs them all by Dec. 5. For the actual survey form and any other information, email: Elizabeth F. Stewart
