The residents at La Maison de la Diversité have heard such insults time and again, but now they’re reclaiming them. It’s moving-in day at France’s first senior living residence for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, and it’s a hive of activity. Gisèle*, 63, experienced profound isolation and suicidal thoughts before moving to La Maison de la Diversité. There are retirement communities in San Francisco, Palm Springs and other US towns that cater specifically to LGBTQIA+ residents and allies. What makes La Maison de la Diversité different is its fusion of LGBTQIA+ housing with multigenerational living.
