This video, created before the June 2013 US Supreme Court decision overturning Section 3 of DOMA, was a primer on Social Security disparities between LGBT adults and their heterosexual counterparts.

In 2010, SAGE and the Movement Advancement Project published Improving the Lives of LGBT Older Adults, a comprehensive policy report of the challenges facing this population.
