SAGE, or Senior Action in a Gay Environment, was founded in 1977 and is the nation's oldest and largest social service and advocacy organization dedicated to GLBT senior citizens. SAGE is pioneering change through its social service, community organizing, advocacy and empowerment work, and provides model programming that is challenging and changing the GLBT community's and society's view of aging.

Robert Gant plays writer and college professor Ben Bruckner on Showtime's "Queer as Folk." Prior to "Queer As Folk," he appeared on the WB's "Popular" as the eccentric principal, Calvin Krupps, and has appeared on "Friends," "Caroline in the City," "Veronica's Closet," "Becker," "Melrose Place," "Ellen" and "Providence," to name a few. He was in the independent film The Contract and will appear in the soon-to-be-released Fits and Starts.

Mr. Gant began acting in television commercials at the age of ten and at the age of 11 he performed a soft-shoe routine with Bob Hope as part of Hope's USO tour. Mr. Gant graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown Law School. While studying law, he continued his true passion and performed in numerous theatrical productions. It was his career as an attorney that brought him to Los Angeles. In a twist of fate, four months after his relocation, the Los Angeles firm he joined was closed. Taking that as an omen, he made the decision to focus all of his time on acting.

Gables of Cape May County was organized in 1995 as part of an effort to establish an organization in every southern New Jersey county with a similar mission. At present, Gables is the only remaining functioning GLBT group in southern New Jersey.
