LGBT care on way
France could get its first homosexual care home after an LGBT home project won the SilverEco prize for best collective housing initiative.
Former care home chief Stéphane Sauvé came up with the idea after discovering gay residents often had to “go back in the closet” once in a home. He is looking at sites for a Maison de la Diversité. Paris mairie’s GreyPride Bienvenue initiative is aimed at the million LGBT seniors in France and wants to create 16 LGBT care homes.
