Southern California's first luxury LGBTQ retirement community is waiting in the wings

Long a popular retirement harbor for gay men, Palm Springs will soon welcome what’s perhaps the ultimate queer golden-age ticket: a luxury condominium community designed for active LGBTQ seniors.complex is the vision of longtime developer partners Paul Alanis and Loren Ostrow of Los Angeles-based KOAR International. Located on a prime nine-acre East Tahquitz Canyon Way lot that’s an easy walk to downtown, the resort-style property’s 105 one- and two-bedroom units will be priced from $699,000.

“We’re not just building condominiums for people, we’re providing them with all sorts of opportunities to develop community, to have interaction,” said Ostrow, who expects a summer 2021 opening.For the LGBTQ population, often childless and less biological-family-centric, isolation and its repercussions can be a grim reality of aging.found that 76% of LGBTQ Americans worry about “having adequate family and/or social supports to rely on as they age.

As an opulent oasis with plenty of bustle, the complex will engender “kind of like a never-ending party,” Palm Springs City Councilman J.R. Roberts said. Although that statement might veer to hyperbole, Roberts explained that Living Out’s siting is optimal — amid the city’s booming gay bar and nightclub scene known for uproarious drag shows, largely favored by an aging Palm Springs demographic that grew up socializing at bars, not on apps.

First?! Really? Have you not heard of Palm Springs?

$700,000 per condo. Please.

Here is where their hypocrisy is going to bite them in the ass

That’s a discrimination class action law suit waiting to happen. What would you say if it was an only black, only white, only Asian, only Jewish or only Christian retirement community ?

Self imposed segregation is a two way street so don’t complaint about discrimination. But we have reached a point where a man is upset because a gynecologist refused to see him, so nothing is surprising anymore.

👀👀 WTF?

Hope,others can live in that community,irrespective of their sexual identity or orientation. Freedom should be all encompassing..

It's nice.

So we're going to institute Seperate but Equal again? Wasn't that a bad thing?
