The Gray Queers Association (GQA) is the outcome of a process of partnership building with local, provincial, and national members of the older (40+) queer community. GQA is a broad-based national association of older queer people, health and social service providers and support networks dedicated to the development, support and sharing of knowledge which focuses on issues of older queers involvement with their families, communities, and society. GQA works to develop partnerships, affiliations, and other undertakings, which will further society's knowledge and understanding, of issues of older queer people.
