No, I’m not talking about West Hollywood or Provincetown, I’m talking about an all-lesbian housing development that is being started by Olivia (the same who brought you Olivia Cruise vacations). According to 365gay.com, Olivia Communities will be a 334-unit resort type condominiums in Tuscon, Arizona. The place will have coordinated events, film festivals, dances, and trips. Almost like a lesbian 90210, but with more people 55 and over. The idea was to create a space where women could just be free to be themselves, and have a good sense of community.
While the place looks good enough, I didn’t hear any mention of stripper poles, free alcohol, or air hockey tables. While I may suck in bed, I figure my wicked air hockey skills along with tons of alcohol is sure to woo the ladies…even if they are mostly over 55. A girl has needs you know.

no air hockey? I’m not going.
You know, the downside of ‘living’ on a cruise permanently- all that politics and cattiness is inescapable.
Horrible idea.
Would it be accepted if it was ‘straight only’ or ‘all-white’ community? I think not. It doesn’t tick any of the equality boxes and only serves to divide and foster misunderstanding.
Totally agree Sam….To clarify, everyone is accepted into the community…but they wanted to establish a “safe space.”
There is a lot of discrimination in nursing homes or assisted living communities for older people. Some older people don’t feel comfortable coming out.
I would love to live in an assisted living community or nursing home knowing that most of the people are LGBT. I’d feel a lot more comfortable.
