Intuitively that makes sense to me (let's be fair ... ageing sucks), especially for members of an oppressed minority.
Definitely. It's hard to blame older queer folks for having some trouble empathizing with younger parts of their community that have generally had a much easier time expressing their sexually and are now shaping the community in ways they do not understand. Of course I'll never excuse bigotry, but I do think most of older gays reservations about the way their community is changing come from a place of fear not malice.
