Manila’s elderly ‘Golden Gays’ chasing retirement home of their own through drag shows

Manila’s “Home for the Golden Gays” was among the few bricks-and-mortar care facilities for the elderly LGBTQ community in the Philippines. However, when the facility closed more than a decade ago, most of its elderly residents were left homeless and struggling in their final years. The surviving Golden Gays are now trying to build a new permanent centre for themselves and future members. The group has been accepting donations from sponsors, but they insist on performing in drag in shows of appreciation.
