Cott wears two hearing aids and has been given a diagnosis of probable Alzheimer’s. Leedom walks with an aluminum cane since he broke his hip a couple years ago in a fall in their bedroom. Cott have been together for 58 years, during which time, both say, they have never had a serious argument. And I think it cost a nickel to get in in those days.” He found that few live alone most scored as well as younger gays on measures of psychological adjustment, such as self-acceptance many are open about their homosexuality with family, friends, and colleagues and the most well-adjusted older gay men were integrated into a homosexual community, associated with younger gay men, and were unwilling to change their sexual orientation.“And there was always gay activity going on in the toilets. In the study, Berger reveals that, contrary to stereotypic views, most older gay men are well-integrated into social networks and lead active and generally satisfying lives. Author Berger asks about the social lives of these men, their involvement in both the heterosexual and homosexual communities, their ”coming out” experiences, their attitudes about younger gays, their experiences in growing older, and their strategies for adapting to life’s challenges.

Because the book portrays older gay men in a realistic and sympathetic light, it is therapeutic for the many gay men who have been burdened with society’s negative and distorted views about them. It asserts that in most ways, older gay men are indistinguishable from other older people. The true situation of the older homosexual male presented in Gay and Gray challenges preconceptions about what it means to be old and gay. And a concluding chapter by Richard Friend on a theory of successful gay aging summarizes much of the current thinking about this topic. John Grube’s paper on the interaction of older gay men with younger gay liberationists explores the cultural divide between today’s older gay man and his younger counterpart, filling a gap left in the first edition. Pope and Schulz confirm Berger’s finding that for most older gay men a continuation of sexual activity and sexual enjoyment is the norm. Minnigerode’s study shows that older gay men do not perceive themselves as growing old faster than their heterosexual counterparts, and that forty is the age at which most gay men believe that the label “young” no longer applies-this finding led Berger and other researchers to define “older” gay men as those over forty. It breaks the stereotype that older gay men are strange, lonely creatures and reveals that most older gay men are well-adjusted to their homosexuality and the aging process.This second edition contains four new chapters that present additional perspectives on the reality of gay aging. Gay and Gray is the first and only scholarly full-length treatment of older gay men in America today. In the absence of accurate information, American culture has upheld a distorted view of what it means to be an older gay man.
