Retirement communities for homosexuals

Or, as the AP calls them, "graying gays." Whatever their name, elderly practicing homosexuals are apparently a large enough demographic that retirement communities set aside specifically for them are cropping up all across the country.

One, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, plans a "prom party 'for those of us who didn't go to senior prom with the person we wanted to.'" How cute.

Steven David isn't so sure he likes the idea. David is a postdoctoral psychology fellow at UCLA (where else) "who counsels and researches older gay men." He said some people have been asking "'should we be creating these places in the first place or forcing society to accept us?'"
