This is a show about individual experience and personal identity.

There may be times when folks use identifying words or phrases that don't feel right to you.

That's part of what we're exploring here.

Please listen with an open heart, and as always I welcome your polite engaged feedback and I encourage you to continue the conversation in your own life and with your own community.

Welcome to Quarry. Hey, Quarros, Cammy here. Well, today is an amazing conversation with Michael Adams, the CEO at Sage, the world's largest

and oldest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ plus older people.

I love this chat and gosh I really feel grateful for Michael's work.

And I also want to make a big old announcement which is that at the end of February,

query will be coming to a close.

Making the show has been one of the great gifts of my life.

I have met so many people and really feel like I've fulfilled the mission

that I had to start the show, which is I wanted to create

a bank of experiences and voices, people talking in the first person about what it is like to be a queer person, an LGBTQ plus person.

And boy did I talk to a lot of people?

I mean, just a lot of people. And I also talked to a lot of you as I've toured so many of you

have come up to me and told me how the show impacted your life your ability to come

out your ability to find community no matter where you lived and the age that you were.

And I want you to know how much that has meant to me.

So thank you for that.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for supporting the show,

all the different ways that you have.
