> some/many of the young LGBTQ+ people are against learning from their elders. Well almost a complete generational cohort of their elders is simply missing. They died of aids in the 80s and 90s.

No, they didn't. At least look at the data before making such a bigoted statement.

  Yes, we did lose a generational cohort. There is a reason that the quilt is so large[1]. [1] https://www.npr.org/2012/06/27/155868611/pieces-of-aids-quilt-blanket-nations-capital https://www.npr.org/2012/06/27/155868611/pieces-of-aids-quil...

    100k out of 200 million (US)? Out of 5 billion (worldwide)? The flu makes us lose five "generational cohorts" every year, then.

      Intersectionality. 100k out of *how many out homosexual individuals during that era in the area being studied*? And it's not just raw numbers, either. It's how many lives / families were impacted in this unique way. To add, it's also 100k that were almost entirely in a single demographic that was explicitly and implicitly being harmed by those in power during that era.

        I want to add more. The whole “30 is gay death” expression, I bet, especially since it’s not really a thing anymore, was greatly influenced by there being very few gay people over 30. Because the rest were dead.

        >Intersectionality. Nah, just elementary school Math. It was around 1%, a considerable morbidity but still very far from losing "a complete generational cohort".

        Hey btw I absolutely did mean "a generational cohort of lgbtq people" not the broader total population. Which would make no sense, so I assumed no one would interpret my meaning that way. Thanks for calling me a bigot and then starting a fight with these other people about it though.

        A multiplication and a division is starting a fight nowadays? >a generational cohort of lgbtq people That's where the 1% figure comes from. If you look at the whole population it is more like 0.0001%. Sorry if Math hurt your feelings. Btw, bigot means a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief or an opinion, which seems relevant.
