I am 51, bi, and to this day I am not comfortable discussing my sexuality. I don't think young people understand how different things are now when compared to just fifteen years ago.
So you remember when the worst insult you could call a man was "F@g." I do. Not idiot, or moron, or dumbass. "F@g."
That's still burned into my brain. I don't say it, but when I'm angry, it's right there on the tip of my tongue.
I’ve had to hear the F-slur at EVERY ONE of my workplaces. I’m middle aged and in tech. Makes me want to cry…
