Video: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ 'Legacy Couples'

Learn about a 2021 AARP Community Challenge project in Miami Beach, Florida


LOCATION: Miami Beach, Florida

GRANTEE: Miami Beach Gay Pride, Inc.

The Legacy Couples Project recognizes same-sex couples who have been in committed relationships of 10 years or longer.

The AARP Community Challenge grant helped the grantee and its partners (HistoryMiami Museum, the Yes Institute, and the Art Deco Museum) photograph and record older couples telling their stories of love. The participants included an octogenarian couple celebrating more than 50 years together.
