When I was in my 20s I watched this documentary on The Castro which really hit me hard at the time. It's pretty fascinating to see how the gay community was and how it is there. It's also kind of sad to see all the people who survived the AIDs epidemic, and multiple tech waves only to leave as a result of the covid pandemic.
It feels like we've lost a lot of our culture. But hopefully things will start moving in the other direction.
Heteronormativity was the nail in the coffin for our culture. When they homogenized us with legalized marriage they sterilized all the things that made our communities unique.
Here's the full PBS documentary
