Aging and Mentorship in the Margins: Multigenerational Knowledge Transfer Among LGBTQ+ Chosen Families

The breadth and depth of multigenerational transfers of knowledge across the life course demonstrate the centrality of multigenerational chosen families for LGBTQ+ communities as they age, especially among multiply-minoritized communities (e.g., transgender women, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color [BIPOC] same-gender-loving communities). Knowledge shared among chosen families also reflects how "mentorship in the margins" builds individual and collective power that helps LGBTQ+ communities survive and thrive as they age.
