Am I to understand that you think there are no LGBT seniors??
We have several DR1ers who are.
No. We are everywhere. It’s just not a topic that is well received on this forum. Threads started get shut down quickly. Not closed by a mod. Just go flat. Other than Wally Brewster, much of which occurred in off topic, the lgbt threads don’t get much play.
The website dr1 has accurate info as I recall.
When a lgbt thread comes up OP’s get the usual very helpful timely advice. And a healthy dose of snark. They are often helpfully given links such as monaga (nsfw).
Anything gay goes over like a lead balloon. That’s all. No particular invective. I note significant generational trends.
families where there is at least one out of the closet family member also tend to have allies in the family who can smooth things over. That’s how older generations learn from younger ones. My beloved dad (step) has changed on that topic. Still thinks it’s wrong but now he has many relatives in the younger generation. He also found out that a few of his peers were alternative and he never knew. And his peers who have gay grandchildren made a difference. Of course he sees it as a symptom of the degradation of society. Faithful catholic, abortion is murder kind of guy. He often now finds himself at parties and gatherings with gay people and he isn’t always the most cordial anyone could imagine. Often a big hit. (Actually, not recently. Been a few years since he’s sticking close to the house.)
So I’m not saying older folks are closed minded. But mostly people here on DR1 don’t want to talk about it. Even I don’t want to, that much. He was politely invited by Robert to more or less go ahead. Here we are.
I stick around Cuz I learn history stuff and travel stuff. On a rare ocasión I can provide helpful advice.
So I guess we have a new sub forum thread. Are there significant generational difference in all things Lgbt?
Btw, just cuz I’m a gay guy doesn’t make me any kind of expert. Nor do I have a particular interest in the topic.
I predict this sub forum will be less active than the residents only forum.
But good luck and have at it.
It could be popcorn worthy.
