They actively attack people like Fred Sergeant who are of that generation. It's not that there aren't older gays around, it's that they have no time and patience for people whining about being called the wrong pronoun when they had to actually fight for equal rights and were actually discriminated against in a way that wasn't getting their feelings hurt.

Exactly. Or if gay men ask not to be called queer you can bet these little bitches will lash out with ageism, "Ok Boomer", nasty little shits. I'm not a Boomer, I'm 51, but i am way to old for this shit and want nothing to do with these morons calling themselves LGBTQIA2JHVLJP+++.

Gay boomers from the Anglosphere grew up in countries where you could get locked up for homosexuality. Gay millennials and zoomers get to spend a majority of their lifetimes in a country with same sex marriage. And yet you have a lot of gay millennials and zoomers being nasty to gay boomers, and gay boomers have done most of the work. It infuriates me, but we now live in a culture where it’s okay to be a spoilt brat.

Younger generations in general talk badly of Boomers, forgetting they were young once, pushing cultural boundaries, protesting wars and militarism, marching for human rights and against nuclear weapons, and yes, fighting for the same-sex rights that Millennials and Zoomers have grown up feeling entitled to.

And of course, these same millennials and zoomers who are nasty to boomers will bitch and moan about the subsequent generations being mean to them. And while we’re at it, boomers were probably nasty towards the generations that came before them too.

They were. And to the ones after them. I was there. Sincerely, a Gen-Xer (who now hides in a cave to avoid the absurdity of the world).

The lack of respect young LGB people and young TQ people have for their elders is certainly a factor.

Being in my 50s now, this is very true. Ageism is one of the remaining acceptable prejudices, not to mention the fact that they attack you if you aren't on board with gender nonsense.

This is mainly why I prefer men older than me - I’m 26. Young people in general are spoilt brats these days. This is why parents need to discipline their children.

Ha, same!! I don’t age-discriminate for sex but I stick to dating older women for this reason.

Ok, but AIDS didn't kill people who randomly identified one way, it killed mostly gay men. You know, real men who had sex with other men.

That describes the lack of LGB people, TQ+ boomers don’t exist cause TQ+ didn’t exist

TQ+ Boomers died of identity AIDs. They contracted it by not being validated once and then they became so fragile a sneeze could take them out. Tragic.

So sad, Reagan literally murdered all five million of them by not validating them in every speech.

When you scare away the numerous elders in the community such as knowledgeable lesbians with TERF TERF TERF and CHOKE ON MY GIRLDICK, don't be fucking surprised when people old and wise don't want to be involved in your batshit crazy generation of new age gender larper homophobia.

All of the sane LGB academics have basically had their careers fucked with due to insane TRA mobs preventing any actual LGB research from taking place. Everything must place TQ+alphabet soup in a positive light or be damned.

It keeps blowing my mind the way Gen Z constantly pretends the recent past was much more awful than it actually was. Things can be bad without being "Transatlantic Slave Trade" bad.
