For the LGBT population, aging can be a process filled with questions and fears. Nancy Knauer, a faculty member at Temple's Beasley School of Law, recently won two national prizes for her article that examined issues facing LGBT elders, and she’s now preparing for the release of a book on the topic. Knauer was inspired by Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, who became San Francisco’s first married same-sex couple two years ago after 50 years together. “These were people who’d lived through McCarthyism and through the diagnosis of homosexuality as a mental illness and came out on the other side,” Knauer said.
