“…However, all of the above frameworks lack consideration of intersection among Betty's many membership groups. Perhaps a more encompassing theoretical perspective is the proposition of a "multifarious jeopardy" hypothesis that includes intersection of her age, cohort, race-ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, and disability (Vacha-Haase, Donaldson, & Foster, 2014). Betty faces what might be considered a multidimensional phenomenon as she must integrate gender-role messages with cultural values and continuing experiences with racism at the same time she experiences the aging process, while also grieving the loss of her partner.…”

Older adults who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) or as transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) have often been considered an "invisible minority." Historically, research and clinical literature on aging has not typically acknowledged diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity. In turn, LGBT-related written work has not classically considered the experiences of LGBT adults in later life. Although recent years have brought about some progress, the older-adult LGBT population continues to be veiled throughout the literature, with neither clear identification or inclusion in aging publications nor direct recognition of their presence represented in the literature focusing on LGBT people.This increasingly growing group, however, can no longer be concealed, as current demographics project a significant growth in numbers for this population in coming decades. When looking at the most recent population-based Gallup survey of LGBT individuals, 3.4% of Americans overall identified as 10

Using discourse analysis we explore the connections between ageing and coping in the discourse of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) older Spanish speakers in Australia in relation to the stressor ‘uncertainty about future care’. We examined nineteen semi-structured interviews of CALD seniors living in Brisbane to identify and analyse discursively the coping strategies that they used when talking about future care giving. The results indicate that the participants use active and passive coping strategies to deal with their stressors. The active strategies favour a connection between family members and community support, while the passive strategies show a level of self-protective resignation about what the future holds for them by resorting to religious comfort. Although participants express preference for the way care was provided to older people in their country of origin, they also seem resigned to their children adopting Anglo-Australian customs, and justify this choice as an unavoidable product of cultures in contact.
