1986 to 2006 is a massive leap as far as LGBTQIA+ rights an even as far as recognizing some of those letters as actual things not to mention the whole spectrum, awareness, representation, those things have largely improved. I know it’s a bit hard to reckon with now we seem to be on a backslide but trust we’ll make it
I’ll go back and tell that to all the rural and suburban kids who were scared to come out in my high school in the 90s. In the cities sure that might be true, but out here not so much, you are right that the movement started much earlier though but we didn’t feel the changes here. I really don’t know what to say about it being cool or whatever, it was definitely never cool here so
Not sure if you caught that before my ninja edit or not.
Yes, of course, the trajectory has continued. For cis gay people it hasn’t really stopped improving, even, despite government efforts. All three decade pairs were transformative in their own way. From a political non-issue to a fight, from a fight to basic rights, or from basic rights to social acceptability.
Yeah, I just took it the wrong way as usual lol, I just thought in regards to the question at hand it was a bigger attitude shift from 86-06 than 06-26 but I guess it all depends on where you are talking about and all that

Being gay is cool in progressive crowds now, where in 2006 it was still an insult. The pride movement came to exist at all over the 66-86 period.
