Watermark Retirement Communities

This Pride Month, we’re proud to continue sharing the voices behind Not Another Second, Watermark’s national cultural awareness exhibition honoring LGBTQ+ older adults and the years they lost hiding their authentic selves.

Today, we spotlight the late Reverend Magora Kennedy, whose story is one of extraordinary courage, resilience, and advocacy. From participating in the Stonewall Uprising to spending more than 50 years living openly and proudly as a le***an, Reverend Kennedy dedicated her life to fighting for equality and inspiring future generations.

Not Another Second was created in collaboration with SAGE to ensure stories like hers are seen, heard, and remembered, while honoring the LGBTQ+ pioneers who helped shape a more inclusive future for all. 🌈

For many LGBTQ+ older adults, living authentically was not always safe.

Not Another Second shines a light on the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ seniors who spent years hiding parts of themselves due to stigma, discrimination, and fear. Through candid interviews and personal storytelling, the exhibition celebrates both their struggles and their extraordinary resilience.

This Pride Month, we’re proud to share these voices and honor the generations who helped create a more inclusive future for all.
