AARP Illinois advocacy and outreach director Mary Anderson on Tuesday highlighted a new report from her organization and SAGE that examined the issues facing the state’s LGBTQ residents who are 50 or older. 

State policymakers should ensure a 2019 law aimed at helping older LGBTQ Illinoisans is fully implemented, establish an LGBTQ aging commission and bolster efforts to collect data on the population, according to a new report from two nonprofit organizations.
