Speaking as an elder gay myself:
Yes, it's tragic. I survived, but many others didn't. However, along with the loss, there's also been a gain. Younger LGBTQ+ people haven't had to slowly change their culture, they've been able to re-invent it, in new ways. I don't understand all of it, but I don't need to. It's their community, now, and the kids will be all right.
