This session will present the recently updated AGS Position Statement on Care of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, and All Sexual and Gender Minority Older Adults. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the changing landscape and progress made in health systems, policy, and culture since the release of the preceding 2015 Position Statement; (2) summarize the historical lens of unequal treatment in laws and social structures; (3) discuss the gaps and need for training in LGBTQI+ health concerns; (4) identify research areas with paucity of data; and (5) review AGS recommendations in providing high-quality, equitable care for older LGBTQI+ adults to create affirming, inclusive environments that fully care for the intersection of their identities.
