Join Our Vibrant LGBTQ+ Community!
The Rossmoor LGBTQ+ Alliance welcomes all lesbian, gay, bisexual, non-binary, transgender, queer, questioning and other self-identifying members of the LGBTQ+ community along with our straight allies.
Since 2016, the Alliance has devoted itself to creating dedicated programming for the LGBTQ+ community and allies within Rossmoor.
In Rossmoor, one of the guiding principles of the Alliance is to create community: to conceive it, encourage it, produce it, and help sustain it within the context of growing old differently.
As LGBTQ+ seniors we’re still Engaged. Curious. Motivated. We’re asking “What’s Next? If you are looking for the “what’s next? Start here.

This year marks “Desert Hearts”’ 40th anniversary. This groundbreaking 1985 movie, adapted from Jane Rule’s 1964 novel, Desert of the Heart, is set in 1959 Reno. It tells the story of Vivian, a reserved professor in Reno to obtain a divorce, and Cay, the artist she encounters during her required six-week stay in Nevada. The film shows the evolution of the women’s relationship over these six weeks.
Noted for its vivid big-sky cinematography and jukebox country western soundtrack, “Desert Hearts” was one of the first films to present a lesbian relationship in an authentic, joyful, and optimistic manner. Join the Alliance audience and experience the adventure and romance of historic “Desert Hearts.”
