If any of y'all try to say, “We survived Reagan, we’ll survive this,” expect a fucking earful from me. 

Have you ever noticed that young gay men seem to vastly, overwhelmingly outnumber old gay men?

We most certainly did NOT survive Reagan.

As someone who personally survived the Reagan/Thatcher years, I’m gonna second this. The minimal margin by which some extremely fortunate and possibly privileged members of our community crawled out of the smouldering wreckage of that period is not actually a sign that ‘we’ survived. We, as a cultural group, lost so much and so many that modern LGBT+ culture is essentially reinventing the wheel as far as cultural concepts go. We didn’t survive. We started over.
