Good news for the most part. This bit kind of sucks:
While baby boomers and Gen X men and women were largely aligned in their support, those attitudes diverged among millennials and especially Gen Z, the poll found, with more young women supporting LGBTQ2 issues than young men.
I had high hopes for my generation (millennials) and younger. We'd fix everything our parents did... Now I have doubts. "Live and let live" is such a low bar we should all be able to do.
- Social media is reinforcing and entrenching our existing views. For millennials that all started as young adults so it mostly reinforced progressive views, for zoomers it got to them during their incel phase (if not earlier) and so it reinforces the views they share with Andrew Tate and the anti-woke crowd.
  We're bringing forward a generation that is DEEP into the incel rabbithole.
Since when is there a 2 in that and what does it mean?
- Two-spirit it's (to my knowledge) very much tied to indigenous culture, recognising people who fulfill a traditional third gender, you'll see 2S included a lot in Canada, official government stuff uses 2SLGBTQI+.
- It is the sequel to gay
Yeah. Will march for the first time this year. Gotta show visible support.
Damn, my yearly reminder that, no matter how comfortable I am, my very existence is constantly threatened by people who believe I'm better off dead.
Our allies are a source of strength. Thank you for fighting the good fight. ♥️ 🇨🇦 ♥️
