In mainstream media, movies, and celebratory events like pride parades, the focus is often on young LGBTQIA+ individuals, leaving the elderly community in the shadows. This invisibility fuels misconceptions, with some dismissing the community’s issues as a “new foreign concept” seen only in younger generations. Although they have been largely invisible until recently, LGBTQIA+ older adults now constitute a significant and growing segment of the community. As Bhopali Chaudhary, 67, puts it, “We have always been there.” Despite progress in queer rights, many elderly members of the community in Nepal continue to face severe discrimination, neglect, and violence from their families and society, highlighting the urgent need for LGBTQIA+ friendly old age homes and housing solutions.
