    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
