Rainbow Vista (Gresham, Ore.)

By one recent estimate, there are six million LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) boomers in the U.S., and Oregon’s Rainbow Vista is one of about 25 retirement communities marketed specifically to them. Billed as “a comfortable and anti-discriminate home to live” in, it promises residents, who live independently in apartments, the “freedom to be who you are at all times.” In addition to the usual offerings, Rainbow Vista is active in the local gay community, participating in Portland Gay Pride and the Sexual Minorities Roundtable.
