Not Dead Yet

Sean Bugg reports on the ongoing battle of the gay ages.

Gay culture will likely always be youth-obsessed. But we also lost a generation. The generation ahead of mine was largely erased by the epidemic and only now is there a large, growing cohort of middle-aged queers who aren't willing to go quietly into that good night. In some senses we 40ish guys are charting new ground. And Bugg puts it aptly:

"But the idea that having fun ... is the sole province of the young is simply dunderheaded."

We're here, we're queer, we're 40, get over it.
