The article is not just about where will old gay people end up living. It is just as much about this:
Many gay men have made aging complicated and painful for themselves by adopting an ageist caste system that rules their social and sex life. It’s as ruthless as the caste system in India ever was. Goddess help you if you break the rules. "You hang with guys your own age. Young guys don't talk to older guys, or even hang with them," insists a 23-year-old. "It labels you." Evidently the idea of an older sugar daddy is not something that many Generation X'ers want to flaunt. This caste system is extra complicated for men who happen to look younger than their age. Many older men's fragile egos can't handle socializing with men their own age who look younger than they do.
