Perhaps. But I think the heterosexism/homophobia is something the generation that is coming of age has moved away from. We are the most tolerate generation in history. And there is a great interest among this generation in Detroit. Plus with increased concentration of just about everything in Midtown and other central city neighborhoods I don't see why we wouldn't see concentration of the LGBTQ community as well.
Ferndale still remains the center of the community, but it could change rather quickly. And there is no reason why there can't be multiple "centers" of activity, like in NYC.
Also, not all LGBTQ people want to live in a concentrated place, but I would assume most want to live in a safe place [[as in safe for queer people). Woodbridge is that type of place, and so is Corktown, Midtown, Downtown and Eastern Market, and that is where many are moving.
