SHB -An introduction with your host Gerry Walker

STILL HERE BITCH with Gerry Walker

Hello and welcome to Still Here Bitch – the podcast that explores what queer adults over 50 want and need when it comes to relationships. We’ll ask the questions no one else is currently asking, and get the answers straight from the experts. Mostly though, we’ll have meaningful conversations that will hopefully lead to cool ideas and useful solutions we – as 50-plus queer people – can use to improve our own unique relationship issues in our daily lives. No disrespect, but 30-years ain’t the only ones out there with issues. Whether you are partnered, divorced, widowed, single, complicated, breaking up, on the apps, just met someone, Looking OR otherwise, Still Here Bitch is the podcast that you – as a queer individual of a certain age – have always deserved, but never had. Until now.
Contrary to media messaging, cultural bias, and gay folklore, when Queer Older Adults hit 50, they don’t burst into flames. We’re still here. And dang it: we’ve got questions. About dating apps. About how and where to find others out here like us. How to survive breakups and loss. Sex and Intimacy. STD’s. The fear of aging in our culture, and what’s really perpetuating it. Family issues. How to create meaningful and lasting bonds. New advances in medications. And so much more.
I’m your host, Gerry Walker, Associate Director of Participant Engagement and Equity at the Los Angeles LGBT Center Department of Senior Services, and I’m really excited you could be with me today.
