Who we are

We’re a local non-profit organization dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community and allies at Rossmoor, a 55+ senior community in Walnut Creek, California. 

For years, we were the folks who helped organize and run Rossmoor Pride, a month’s long celebration of the LGBTQ+ community but today we’re more than a group of active seniors who put on fantastic parties…

Interconnected but independent, the LGBTQ+ Alliance operates as a bridge between the Rossmoor Lesbian Social Club (RLSC)  and the Rossmoor Gay Men’s Club (RGMC). 

Making friends as a senior is serious business!

After 55, we cycle through time differently, experience life differently in this part of life.   And post pandemic, everything about living has become that more urgent and bold. 

There’s an imperative to thrive at this stage of life.  There has never been a more important time to meet the moment. 

“The b(old) age - “a time defined by moving from midlife to old age in a society that devalues old people and/or misunderstands what (b)old age is really like” - Debbie Weil 

In collaboration and coordination with the RLSC, RGMC and our vital and trusted allies, we have expanded our programming beyond June Pride.  Throughout the year, we’re focused on building a welcoming and dynamic community, creating spaces that are inclusive and safe, providing support, education and advocacy for Rossmoor’s 55+  LGBTQ+ community members and allies.

According to Sage USA,(https://www.sageusa.org/get-involved/)

LGBTQ+ Seniors are twice as likely to be single and live alone. LGBTQ+ Seniors are also much less likely to have adult children who can provide supportive community. We are dedicated to creating that supportive community.
