”The ‘silent majory’ of the LGBT munyUnlike Gallup’s surveys prev years, which simply asked rponnts to answer “y” or “no” to whether they intify as LGBT, the 2020 survey allowed rponnts to give a greater level of tail about their fdgs provi a wdow to the largt subset of LGBT Amerins, a group that Hammack lls “the silent majory of the LGBT muny”: bisexual than half of LGBT adults intify as bisexual, the Gallup survey data found, while a quarter say they are gay, 12 percent intify as lbian, 11 percent as transgenr and 3 percent as another term, such as queer. This means that nearly 12 percent of all Gen Z adults intify as bisexual, and about 2 percent each intify as gay, lbian or parison, about half of lennials who intify as LGBT say they are bisexual, while olr age groups, intifyg as bisexual is about as mon as intifyg as gay or lbian.

Through this rehed unrstandg, we exame parative s that scribe the bgraphi, general behavrs, and generatnal loc of four well-known gay men as a means to explore how dividuals born a particular birth generatn may experience vastly different experienc life due to the LGBTQ + generatn wh which they intify.

In this se, the disntuy between the birth generatn to which each man belonged and the perd durg which their g of age wh regard to their LGBTQ+ inty occurred was shaped not only by the valu, behavrs, and mor of their birth generatn but also overlaid by the generatn to which they “me of age” as a gay man and a member of the LGBTQ+ muny. His g of age occurred early life, which plac his behavr, the outward exprsn of genr inty, and sexual orientatn a much more ntemporary timeame closer behavr to a member of Generatn X (people born about fifty years after Capote) ntrast, Vidal did not publicly acknowledge his sexual orientatn or genr exprsn, and much later life vaguely intified first as bisexual (1999), and later as homosexual (Kaplan 2013).

The plexy of his g of age a time when homosexualy was illegal, mixed wh his fascatn wh celebry and outlandishns, sparked a cursy Warhol that helped to shape and support the culture of gay neighborhoods New York Cy the 1960s through the 1980s as clive and creative spac.
