Aussie Developer Plans Gay Retirement Village
(Melbourne, Australia) People over the age of 65 will soon be the majority and an aging gay population in Australia will soon have its own retirement village to be built near Melbourne.

"We want to be surrounded by friends."

The $25 million dollar development, called Linton Estate, has received final approval from officials at Ballan, northwest of the city.
It will feature single homes, townhomes, and apartments. There will be a tennis court, bowling green, and a multi-million dollar community center with a pool, spa and open-air theater.
There will be stores, restaurants, a business center and medical center.
“I put myself in the place of people. And whether we’re in a relationship or whether we’re single, we want to be surrounded by friends,” Developer Peter Dickson said.
