Am I in the smallest group around - LGBT over 50?

I've been on MFP for quite while, but just started participating in the forum recently. I'm glad to see there is an LGBT group here as well. One thing I've noticed on the main forum is that, although there are some of us there, there aren't too many of us 50+ people on MFP. And I'm in an even much smaller subset of that population-- a man over 50 (probably under 25% of that group)
And I was thinking. Are there any LGBT over 50 out here at all? And even more, are there any other over 50 gay men out there? Or am I the lone voice in the desert?
So if you are over 50 and LGBT say hi. If you are under 50, say hi too. Because one day, you will be.
And anything I can do to help support anyone in the community, please feel free to message or send me a friend request.

Glad to have you in our "select" group. And those who are half our age.
You know, it's great to go to the gym, and kick the *kitten* of kids 1/3rd our age. You know the ones, who walk around like they own the joint but don't put in 1/10th the work we do. Bring it on, beyotches. I'll whip you're butt any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Because I can.
Old, experienced and sneaky beats young, fast and strong every day of the week.0 -

Bang on 50 and transgender.
Apparently I suffer from gender dysphoria though I like to think of it as a positive aspect of my personality!0 -
52, it may be the smallest group, other perhaps just the quietest0
