No one had even heard of genderwoowoo identities in those days. It’s enough to make you nostalgic

The 2000s was truly a great decade, I think. Music was great, homosexual spaces were still popular (and lesbian spaces still existed), Jobs saved Apple, there were a lot of great films, social media was still in its infancy, and all the gender stuff was barely a whisper. I actually do miss the 2000s.

I personally miss them and the early 2010s too. People were less uptight and there was so much less drama. My partner and I were just talking about how so much of we grew up on (The Office, Arrested Development, Austin Powers, Harry Potter, etc.) couldn’t even be made in today’s climate. We were also talking about, oddly, how it was easier to be gay than it is now.

I would still argue that it is easier to be gay now than in the 90s, even with all the trans bullshit. Nobody blinks when I mention my "husband", whereas in the 90s I had to be circumspect about my love life.

I came out as a teenager in the mid-80s. That was a weird time to be gay, looking back.
