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.

The Alliance proudly presents the classic film noir, "Laura". Directed by Otto Preminger, the film stars Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Vincent Price, and a very queer Clifton Webb, in a role personifying the longings of unattainable love. Viewers will enjoy the moody lighting and period details in "Laura," which exemplify the closeted nature of its villain as this story of the beautiful advertising executive (Gene Tierney) found murdered in her apartment and investigated by WWII era heartthrob Dana Andrews, unfolds. While Andrews' hardboiled detective delves into Laura's demise, he becomes obsessed with her--especially after listening to accounts of her accomplishments from Waldo Lydecker, the Clifton Webb character, presented as both eccentric and possessive.
Chat and chew! Join us for a "bring your own" pre-movie dinner, held at the Redwood Room at Gateway from 5:30-6:30. Come early at 6:45 for a pre-movie discussion about how movies from this period portray LGBTQ+ characters. Members, family, and friends are all welcome! Run time: 1 hr 28 min
