Age shall not weary them

Age shall not weary them

The Mature Age Gays social group celebrated its 17th birthday at the weekend.

Australia’s gay rights champion Justice Michael Kirby was the keynote speaker at the birthday party, which was held in ACON’s Commonwealth St, Surry Hills, offices. MAG member Steve Ostrow said the group was far more than just a social organisation for gay men over the age of 40.

The group is a peer support, educational and social entity, he said.

MAG is now the largest gay club, meeting on a regular basis, in all of Australia, and our newsletter is posted to over 600 members on our mailing list.

It says a lot about our ageist gay community when you see 150 MAG men choose to sit in the basement of the AIDS Council building on a Saturday night because there simply isn’t anything better around.

Over the years mature men have found friends through MAG and, indeed, many partnerships have been established. MAG has been, and continues to be, one of my proudest achievements.
