  Objectives - Our objectives were to examine what is known about the provision of healthcare services to older LGBT adults in the Nordic countries, identify knowledge gaps, map implications of this research for the education of healthcare professionals and delivery of healthcare, and identify key future research priorities to advance policy and practice for older LGBT adults in this region.<p> <p>Design - We conducted searches in nine databases. Peer-reviewed articles and PhD theses published in and after 2002 written in English, Norwegian, Swedish or Danish languages were included. 41 studies met our inclusion criteria. However, only eight of these studies focused specifically on older LGBT adults. Therefore, to answer all research questions, five book chapters about older groups were also included.<p> <p>Results - There were few studies from countries other than Sweden and few quantitative studies. Bisexual people represented a neglected group in research. The studies included showed that healthcare personnel lack knowledge on LGBT issues, particularly about older LGBT adults and non-binary gender identification. Older LGBT adults frequently reported being met with cis- and heteronormative expectations in healthcare encounters. For transgender people, access to medical treatment has been managed by gatekeepers influenced by a binary understanding of gender.<p> <p>Conclusions - Relevant measures to enhance practices are increased attention on LGBT issues in education; training of healthcare professionals; measures at the institutional level; and ensuring that transgender people identifying as non-binary receive the same quality of care as individuals identifying in a binary way.

  This study takes its starting point in the Swedish context to explore experiences of community among older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) adults. Using life story interviews with 33 self-identified LGBTQ older adults between the ages of 59 to 94 years, our aim is to explore meanings of community, belonging, and subcultural spaces at different times and in different ages. How are narratives of finding, entering, and creating subcultural spaces described, and how does time and geographical context play into these experiences in particular? What is it like to age within these communities and to enter these queer spaces later in life? This analysis illustrates how old age can be a disadvantage for entering or participating in queer subcultures, especially when it comes to dating, but the results also point to how old age can be something adding to one's social capital within these subcultures. Further, results suggest that it is important to take social, cultural, and economic resources into account when analyzing community and relationships among older LGBTQ people.

  Lesbian landscapes can be understood as both material and discursive productions, taking place over time, Gill Valentine (1995) argues, describing these processes as lesbian time-spaces. This is also true regarding lesbian feminism in Scandinavia, a movement created in a range of more or less permanent meeting places for non-heterosexual feminists during the 1970s and 1980s such as womens houses, summer camps, and feminist folk high schools, that proved to be important arenas over the years. This article explores some dimensions of a larger interview material with 18 non-heterosexual women in Sweden between the ages of 59 and 94. Using life narrative interviews with 8 self-defined lesbian feminists as point of departure, I look into the experiences of coming of age as non-heterosexual women for those who were, and still are, part of the lesbian feminist movement, and what it has meant to them over the years in the past as well as the present. Resisting the dominant ideals of intimacy, sexuality, and ways of living, and the heterosexual nuclear family, they created new subjectivities as lesbian women and alternative images of valuable lives, where the lesbian and feminist community had a central part. What did identification processes look like over time in relation to the lesbian feminist subcultural community, and what is the importance of the social and political networks for the interviewees after the age of 60? How has these processes been experienced by a women-identified trans person as compared to the biologically born lesbian women in the study? In spite of the agist expectation that subcultural life is important only for young people, one results is that the lesbian feminist subculture continues to be socially important in old age for those who have had a long commitment in these environments, even if it takes new forms. In contrast to the younger years, it seems like old age and lesbian generation is increasingly important for identifying with and taking part in lesbian community, for a range of reasons

  The situation for LGBTI people in the Nordic countries has changed radically in recent decades. This has led to increased access to social and legal rights, strengthened protection against discrimination, increased visibility and more opportunities to create communities. Despite this, studies show that a gender identity or sexual orientation that does not conform to the conventional norm still significantly increases the risk of ill-health. In particular, bisexual and transgender people within the LGBTI community experience a higher degree of vulnerability and poorer mental and physical health compared to the majority population throughout their lives. How do these conditions affect older LGBTI persons’ prospects as they age, and what happens in their contacts with healthcare and social care? The Nordic Council of Ministers has initiated a project that aims to increase knowledge about the living conditions and quality of life of older LGBTI people, especially in relation to their encounters with the healthcare system and social care. The Nordic Council of Ministers co-operation body Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK), located at the Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research at the University of Gothenburg has carried out the project. The report is a result of the project. The report is based on 38 publications consisting of quantitative as well as qualitative studies published as scholarly articles, dissertations, anthology chapters, reports and books.

  Nordic aging policy framework aiming at early engagement and prevention of health and social challenges as well as meeting future needs, often falls short when targeting minority groups- including older non-heterosexuals. Parallel to this, the level of trust towards health care and social services is generally lower amongst non-heterosexual older adults as compared to the majority aging population. In our paper, we draw on new data from a qualitative study of the health care experiences and needs of older non-heterosexual people in their local environments to understand their perspectives on their service needs across systems of formal care. Our research reveals a high degree of unrest of not being met with constructive motives, attitudes or knowledge about minority lives, minority health challenges and social issues. This, combined with a situation where many of the informants are revealing that they do not plan for their aging at all, leads to a communication crisis where a creation of dialogue between these older adults and their municipality are challenging if not non existing. In worst case, the lack of trust in municipality staff and a heteronormative framework of care and services are a direct cause for the non-heterosexual’s silence and closedness. By identifying these risks and challenges in the communication, future interventions can be made towards inclusion of older non-heterosexual by using framework of risk communication.

  I detta kapitel undersöks vilka föreställningar och värderingar som ingår i begreppet "familj", och vad det innebär i äödre lesbiska och bisexuella kvinnors upplevelser och utformanden av nära relationer. Är en biologisk "när" alltid "nära" och är "vänner" mindre viktiga än familj? Hur påverkar heteronormativitet och homonegativism familjerelationer? Kapitlet bygger på livsberättelsesintervjuer med 15 icke-heterosexuella kvinnor mellan 59- 94 år.
