BILL MAHER: AT THIS RATE 'WE WILL ALL BE GAY BY 2054'

The term “homosexualy, ” while sometim nsired anachronistic the current era, is the most applible and easily translatable term to e when askg this qutn across societi and languag and has been ed other cross-natnal studi, cludg the World Valu Survey. Dpe major chang laws and norms surroundg the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opn on the acceptance of homosexualy society remas sharply divid by untry, regn and enomic velopment. And Poland, supporters of the erng PiS (Law and Jtice), which has explicly targeted gay rights as anathema to tradnal Polish valu, are 23 percentage pots ls likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted by society than those who do not support the erng party.

But even untri like France and Germany where acceptance of homosexualy is high, there are differenc between supporters and non-supporters of key right-wg populist parti such as Natnal Rally France and Alternative for Germany (AfD).

Well-rearched surveys (as opposed to some wh markedly skewed sampl and/or methodology) have nsistently placed the homosexual populatn of Ameri at around 2 to 3 percent—yet the fluence of homosexuals on Amerin culture is vastly out of proportn wh their actual numbers.

WE WILL ALL BE GAY 2054: BILL MAHER'S 'HOMOPHOBIC' MENT ON LGBTQ MAK IZENS FUR

A USA Today article last year reported 32 regularly appearg bisexual or homosexual characters primetime work scripted seri for the 2014-15 televisn season, wh another 64 appearg ble TV shows (Bill Keveney, “Y, You Really Are Seeg More LGBT Characters on TV, ” Oct. They then add this utn for those who would want to ph the gay agenda too far: “It almost go whout sayg that groups on the fartht marg of acceptabily such as NAMBLA [the North Amerin Man-Boy Love Associatn, which as s name suggts promot adult-child homosexual sex] mt play no part at all such a mpaign: spected child-molters will never look like victims...

This strategy—aid and abetted by sympathetic news media and ernment agenci—has led to enterg a stage of aggrsive attacks by some the gay muny agast those who scerely believe that homosexual behavr vlat the laws, stctns and prcipl of God. Yet at the same time, they ma a statement showg that gays really aren’t the opprsed, victimized group Kirk and Madsen advote they be portrayed as: “Bee those gays not supportg fai ually have more discretnary e than average, they uld afford to ntribute much more. “Bee most straightforward appeals are impossible, the Natnal Gay Task Force has had to cultivate quiet backroom liaisons wh broadst pani and newsrooms orr to make sure that issu important to the gay muny receive some verage.

As Gallup poted out s ial timate of the entire LGBT populatn 2012, "Exactly who mak up the LGBT muny and how this group should be measured is a subject of some bate, " and "there are a number of ways to measure lbian, gay, and bisexual orientatn, and transgenr stat.

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).

Their behavrs, outward exprsn of genr, and gree of fort wh intifyg as LGBTQ + varied pendg more on their LGBTQ + generatn than their birth wh Capote, Vidal, and Hudson, a sire or lack of sire to ngregate and be associated wh other LGBTQ + dividuals public impacted the emergence and subsequent velopment of gay neighborhoods. In this way, Warhol’s liberal attu mirrored attus gay neighborhoods as home to not only LGBTQ+ dividuals but as clive, accsible, and permissive neighborhoods where enomic stat beme ls important than creative energy, potential, and persona.

INTER CHURCH ROASTED FOR PREDICTG ‘EVERYONE AMERI WILL BE GAY BY 2047’

In the old days you uld go over there on a Sunday and nobody would be around, but now ’s gay gay gay as far as the eye n see—dyk and leather bars wh the nam right out there broad daylight—the Ramrod-type plac” ( Warhol and Hackett 1989: 51). 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. He provid for his followers and for succsive generatns of LGBTQ+ people a type of eedom that he himself seemed reluctant to Homonormative Saeculum and the Events that Shaped a Century of LGBTQ+ CultureThe experience for LGBTQ + people—amed by the unrstandg and treatment of LGBTQ+ dividuals reflected the valu of mastream society—is often que different om that of non LGBTQ+ people.

We propose appendg the heteronormative generatnal nam popularized by Strss and Howe to better rporate LGBTQ+ experienc as follows:The Silent Generatn —or the “Closeted Generatn”—gay men me of age jt before, durg, and immediately after World War II and lived a world which there was tense social prsure to nform to genr stereotyp. To avoid persecutn and harassment by the police, the early pneers further gravated wh the large metropolan areas to the margs of central ci—abandoned and fotten neighborhoods populated by those that heteronormative society has labeled social outsts and crimals—that beme some of the first regnizable gay neighborhoods.

THE GAY AGENDA BLUEPRT: A PLAN TO TRANSFORM AMERI

They were bolstered by the experienc of those om prev generatns as they began to shed the cultural shame that enuraged LGBTQ + dividuals to stay the closet, and they relished the out of the gay liberatn movement as gay and lbian dividuals and their alli began to celebrate “gay eedom. High-profile efforts such as AIDS Coaln to Unleash Power ( ACT UP), Broadway Car/Equy Fights AIDS, and the AIDS Memorial Quilt Project helped to fe public awarens of the societal and stutnal margalizatn of homosexualy and the necsy to addrs the AIDS panmic wh facts and not wh fear. Generatn X took notice of members of the Greatt Generatn and Silent Generatn as they stggled—often publicly—to rencile the nflictg valu of their generatns: to acknowledge homosexuals as productive members of society while admtg that prev treatment of LGBTQ + people may have been unkd or ntrast to prev tim when popular cultural referenc implied shame or viance related to homosexualy, many of the cultural touchpots for Generatn X viewed homosexualy as a “normal” part of society, suggtg an openg for the acceptance of LGBTQ + people.

In 1973, the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn (APA) asked all members attendg s nventn to vote on whether they believed homosexualy to be a mental disorr: 5, 854 psychiatrists voted to remove homosexualy om the list of mental disorrs, and 3, 810 voted to reta . Homosexualy beme creasgly more accepted by heteronormative society durg the perd as this generatn me of age, culmatg the legalizatn of same-sex marriage Canada 2005, Swen 2009, and the Uned Kgdom 2013; the Uned Stat, legalizatn of same-sex marriage first occurred state by state, but eventually the U.

Bee of the lser exposure to social ictn for LGBTQ + members of the Millennial Generatn, may LGTBQ+ gays and lbians are unrstood by members of other generatns to be blhely unaware of the persecutn, harassment, and stggl endured by precsor LGBTQ + dividuals. They are unlikely to be subjected to the same gree of heteronormative social stigma of generatns past related to stat as a sexual mory Intersectn of LGBTQ + Generatnal Cohorts and Gay NeighborhoodsWhy is place so important for young gay people?

AMERINS STILL GREATLY OVERTIMATE U.S. GAY POPULATN

For LGBTQ + people, this transn may be pecially important as young people transn om parental and faial ntrol to makg their own cisns adulthood, which unrsr the layerg for LGBTQ + dividuals of birth generatn and “ g of age” energy young adults brg to gay neighborhoods is the nsistent (Bterman 2020a).

The sire among LGBTQ + dividuals to live a muny such as those found wh gay neighborhoods has been nsistently evolvg and changg over the past five generatns, and the flux of young adults om each LGBTQ + generatn, along wh their energy and ias helps to sta gay neighborhoods for the next generatn, as shown Fig. The difference for most LGBTQ+ people is that the product is typilly more plex and multifaceted as the generatnal touchpot is rooted a heteronormative plexy of gay inty durg the middle to later twentieth century—borne of generatns fluenced by social valu and cultural mor stilled their parents by their parents a century before—rulted a nflicted state of existence for gay neighborhoods durg their emergent and formative years.

Those who equented, habed, and vised gay neighborhoods balanced a personal disassociatn wh their LGBTQ + stat, persistent cultural judgment and shame, and a sire for discretn wh the eedom to exprs their te feelgs through ut participatn and permissivens. The societal stigma attached to beg gay was magnified durg the HIV/ AIDS panmic—and the adversy experienced by gay men durg (and after) that panmic—shaped a generatn of LGBTQ + activists, pneers, and alli (Bterman and Hs 2021).

UNRSTANDG GENERATN GAPS LGBTQ+ COMMUNI: PERSPECTIV ABOUT GAY NEIGHBORHOODS AMONG HETERONORMATIVE AND HOMONORMATIVE GENERATNAL COHORTS

Gay neighborhoods durg this perd om 1980 to 2000 provid a rpe for LGBTQ + people—and pecially gay men—om heteronormative standards and judgment based on the associated men om three generatnal horts—the Silent Generatn, the Greatt Generatn ( like Warhol, Vidal, Hudson, and Capote) and Generatn X —were part of the “great gay migratn” to ci the 1960s through the 1980s (Wton 1995). 2021): “the relatively exclive, niche-specific, semi-public spac of lbian and gay bars that promised a safe haven a largely hostile environment lost their raison d’être faster than anyone would have expected a few s ago” (Eeckhout et al. One notable shift is younger members of the Millennial and Z generatns (who participated ls directly the stggle for LGBTQ + rights) may not fully grasp the importance of gay neighborhoods on LGBTQ+ culture and lbian and gay life (Bterman and Hs 2021) and may have a lser propensy to engage the muny offered by gay neighborhoods.

The closure of gay bars, emergg virtual gay spac, and chang the character of gay neighborhoods are remrs that as the plac transn om beg home to generatns rooted the stggle, to playgrounds of generatns beneftg om that stggle, now may be a cril time to exame the prent plate the trajectory of gay neighborhoods (Coff 2021).
