The slow death of the oppression and growing acceptance of gays and lesbians, something that, unfortunately, the trans community has been left behind by, is overall a good thing. However, I feel that it comes at a serious price. The gay and lesbian "community" as an idea may sadly fall apart over time. Already, the younger generations seem to not need a community to be a part of, as they often find "enough" acceptance among their peers and society. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in the arts. When we were more openly oppressed, the anger fueled so many brilliant books, films, plays, and other works of art. The golden age of queer art may sadly be over.
