Editorial
Along with the rest of this youth-oriented world in which we live, homosexuals
have been carefully taught to believe that the gay experience is predominantly,
if not strictly, for the young. We have been conditioned, even more than our
heterosexual brethren, to worship the spirit of Peter Pan, and to delay as long
as possible the inevitability of aging, Still, as the old song says, everybody's doing it, and eventually we must face the harvest years.
To the teenager, twenty-one is the beginning of the end, thirty is senility,
forty is the end of the world, and fifty is quite simply unfathomable. Somehow,
though, we manage to survive these milestones (some more gracefully than others), and eventually find ourselves someplace "between forty and death."
Without an upcoming generation of progeny to give life renewed meaning, the
later years can be especially treacherous for the homosexual, and we can be
thankful that some of the more omniscient of us have banded together to help
the less farsighted. The creation of the organization S.A.G.E, (Senior Action
in a Gay Environment) is one of the more significant developments within the
gay community (see page 30), and no matter how old you are, or claim to be,
you should familiarize yourself with its work. You will be comforted to know
that there are folks out there who will still need you, who will still feed
you, when you're sixty-four.
