Have you ever qutned whether you might be gay? Well, maybe 's time to fd out if there's a ltle rabow your heart! * gay boom *

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.

THE GAY TEST

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. 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.

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.

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).

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). The survival of smaller gay districts (and gay districts loted small- and mid-sized ci) is more threatened than tablished gay districts larger metropolan areas (Ghaziani 2021), and some lotns have rmally memorated LGBTQ + signifint plac wh or near gay Possibili for Gay NeighborhoodsThe perspectiv regardg gayborhoods among succsive generatns of LGBTQ + rints is changg.

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). This is not a new phenomenon, as illtrated by the example of how Andy Warhol engaged the gay neighborhoods of New York and the var typ of dividuals that found a sense of belongg fluidy among later generatns shifts the generatnal perspective of gay neighborhoods (Bterman and Hs 2021).

We now live a post-bary multi-polar world, and this change is reflected neighborhoods and plac (Hs 2019) example of the shiftg language surroundg LGBTQ + inty is the faiar amalgamatn of words that reference homosexualy as a cultural touchpot, which are beg creasgly mon.

We aim to enlarge scholarship about gaps between generatnal inty for LGBTQ + people sce tradnal generatnal theory has seldom been applied to LGBTQ+ people or particular, we seek to extract om a nsirably tailed vtigatn of the most recent six generatns, a more nuanced unrstandg of how LGBTQ + members of var generatnal horts view the natn of segregated gay neighborhoods and how they have (or have not) ntributed to stag gay neighborhoods to btow them on subsequent generatns of LGBTQ + people.
