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.

5 TRENDS FOR THE GAY COMMUNY 2050: A LOOK TO THE FUTURE

The chapter nclus wh five takeaway msag that clarify the relatnship between LGTBQ+ people, the generatnal horts to which they belong and wh which they intify, and the attus of var LGBTQ+ generatnal horts toward gay neighborhoods. 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. This parison provis a basis for better unrstandg broar societal forc that shape the evolutn of gay neighborhoods throughout the twentieth century and to the twenty-first century along wh observatns about the perceived cle or plate of gay neighborhoods.

Explorg LGBTQ+ Generatns: Through the Ey of Warhol, Vidal, Capote & HudsonExamg the liv of celebri and well-known LGBTQ + dividuals offers a lens to summarize and illtrate typil behavrs and attus that have been formative shapg gay culture and the LGBTQ+ llective inty. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

AMERINS STILL GREATLY OVERTIMATE U.S. GAY POPULATN

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.

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?

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).

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).

As the stigma associated wh intifitn wh groups unr the LGBTQ + umbrella creas universally, the need/sire for livg plac unrsred by segregatn and self-isolatn may also physil buildg blocks of gay neighborhoods—mercial tablishments ( bars, rtrants, bookstor), servic ( muny centers, health clics), and rinc—may be removed or displaced due to var urban forc cludg neighborhood change, revalizatn, gentrifitn, soc-cultural fluenc (tast, preferenc, and attus), and even equal rights legislatn (Bterman 2020a; Eeckhout et al. However, if gayborhoods (or elements of gayborhoods) are at risk of or ed disappearg, then the need to prerve the memory spac be urgent so that the social actn that occurred there is documented, (Miller and Bterman 2021) pecially for future, many LGBTQ + dividuals—pecially younger groups of dividuals—embrace a broadly clive fn of sexual orientatn and fd ltle value labels such as “gay, ” “ lbian, ” “transgenr, ” and other sexual mori (Podmore 2021).
