The book provides a framework for contemplating the future form and function of gay neighborhoods. Social and cultural shifts within gay neighborhoods are used as a framework for understanding the decades-long struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Resulting from gentrification, weakening social stigma, and enhanced rights for LGBTQ+ people, gay neighborhoods have recently become \u201cless gay,\u201d following a 50-year period of resilience. Meanwhile, other neighborhoods are becoming \u201cmore gay,\u201d due to changing preferences of LGBTQ+ individuals and a propensity for LGBTQ+ families to form community in areas away from established gayborhoods. The current \u2018plateau\u2019 in the evolution of gay neighborhoods is characterized by generational differences\u2014between Baby Boom pioneers and Millennials who favour broad inclusivity\u2014signaling various possible trajectories for the future \u2018afterlife\u2019 of these important LGBTQ+ urban spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The complicating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic provides a point of comparison for lessons learned from gay neighborhoods and the LGBTQ+ community that bravely endured the onset of the HIV\/AIDS pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>This book will be of interest to students and scholars in various disciplines\u2014including sociology, social work, anthropology, gender and sexuality, LGTBQ+ and queer studies, as well as urban geography, architecture, and city planning\u2014and to policymakers and advocates concerned with LGBTQ+ rights and social justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here to access the Open Access version of The Life and Afterlife of Gay Neighborhoods.
