#LGBTElders<\/a> | SAGE Launches Storytellers Contest to Raise Awareness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders<\/p>\n

SAGE, the world’s largest LGBTQ advocacy organization, launched a nationwide storytelling contest in the US <\/a>to raise awareness about LGBT seniors and consciousness regarding the lived narratives and needs of our elders. SAGE has already begun posting content on both their YouTube <\/a>and Podomatic <\/a>channels. The voting period runs from November 7 to November 21, 2013, and the contest winner will receive an Amazon gift certificate and worldwide recognition for their story<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Official Rules: Enter the SAGE Storytelling Contest<\/b><\/p>\n

SAGE wants to know more about your family, friends, community, and what they mean to you. We want to know about a time when you may have felt alone but found a connection that sustained you. Or maybe a time when you built a circle of support for yourself or for someone else in need.<\/p>\n

Tell us: What does “community” mean to you? How do you stay connected to the people who matter most to you? Stories connect us—share yours today.<\/p>\n
