[View this email online]( Header title text [Members of Age UK Oldham's LGBT group for older people smiling at the camera]( A generation of pioneers At the end of June 1969, 50 years ago, members of the LGBT+ community rioted outside the Stonewall Inn in New York. They were tired of police harassment because of their sexuality, and tired of the way they were being treated by society. The ripples of those riots were felt all over the world. The older generation of LGBT+ people have been through some terrible struggles, but they have paved the way to a more open and accepting society for the younger generation. That's why Age UK Oldham's Out and About group for older LGBT+ people (pictured above) is so important for people to share experiences, understand their rights, and make friends.
