This blog is a collection of stories shared in the "Telling Your Story" group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender elders, age 50+ in the SAGE of the Rockies program at the GLBT Community Center of Colorado. Group members generate topics and share their own memories related to a common theme. We hope you enjoy these stories on how we got where we are, both individually and as a community.

GLBT Hopes, by Ray S
Hope springs eternal, at least I hope so. When I take stock of my many hopes, some almost transcendental and spiritual, others seemingly hopeless. Often, hopes for a loved one, here now or passed on, high hopes for desire ringing from hearing a favorite music composition, eating a gourmet meal, visiting an art gallery, or enjoying the excitement of a sporting event. And of course, the finale and climax of a lover’s encounter with Eros, the god of love.
Somewhere amongst all this our tribe has and will continue to be confronted by our hopes and actions to further equal rights for not only GLBTs but for everyone. There are as many but of different complexities as we have faced in the past.
Support the Cause, hope positively, and fight like hell! Onward and upward to Stonewall Number Two!
