Pretty much, yeah. From my perspective, it seems that there's enough pre-existing understanding that for the most part, there's no need for such a massive "hey, we exist" pushback, so it becomes more of a uniformly celebratory thing.

Not to put a point on it, but it should throw into sharp relief just how fucked things are in the US when to my knowledge, even Sweden's second most right-wing party (SD) is at least somewhat okay with the LGBTQ+ demographic, their main "concern" is immigration-related rhetoric.

If your line of thinking is that we'll somehow enter a brand new age of understanding and kindness once all the Boomers die off, then I've got some bad news for you. There are plenty of Boomers who are as progressive as we are, and there are as many folks our age who are shit.

But I'd rather 1:1 this discussion rather than "say it here before God and all the bones of the saints," to quote Robin Williams in Death to Smoochy (a highly underrated movie). So, feel free to hit me up.
