I’m part of the “silent generation” of the LGBTQ community
in a world that’s constantly chasing what’s new and next. But trust me, there is nothing silent about the lives they’ve lived. The stories, the chaos, the courage, the fashion choices we don’t question…we’ve seen it all.
So when younger community members show up with love, respect, and that “I got you” energy? It hits deep. Like, unexpectedly emotional deep. Because it’s not just kindness…it’s connection. It’s being seen.
And to you younger ones: come sit with us for a minute. Hear our stories. Some of us don’t have kids or built-in support systems as we get older, but we’ve got a lifetime of love, advice, and maybe a little harmless tea just waiting for the right audience. Give us a reason to get up, get dressed, and share it.
Plus… let’s be real…one day, you WILL be us. Maybe with better skincare. Maybe not. Either way, the roles will flip faster than you think.
So let’s take care of each other now…because community doesn’t have an age limit, and honestly, we’re a lot more fun when we stick together.
