"Finding Home", a collaboration between writer Moli Steinert and photographer Karen Ande, is a tribute to the resiliency to LGBT seniors and their fight for equality.
The featured seniors migrated to San Francisco in the 1950s and 1960s to find a place where they could live openly and find community.
It wasn't always easy, and it wasn't always safe, but here are their stories. Many thanks to Phyllis Lyon for writing the foreword.
A portion of the proceeds will be given to "openhouse", a nonprofit established to make sure that home for LGBT seniors would be a place of safety, caring and community.
