    Older but not dead. commented  · 

    I don't really know how I ended up reading this but find the concept offensive. The guys they this entitled brat is objecting to saying hello are the same ones who fought for for half a century to get them the rights they presently have. A simple no thanks works well. Some younger guys enjoy learning about things from people with a lot of life experience. As a matter of fact a lot of young guys exploit the older ones and it can be inequitable in reverse. You don't see them yelling about it. Younger guys didn't invent gay life but the guys that you hatefully call creepy and cringey did invent the gay rights that the younger guys take for granted. They are also the ones fighting to hold on to them while the kids are playing and partying. Does it kill you to say hello? Does it bother you that they are still part of the community that they started? Have you ever thanked one of them for marching in the first pride parades when people threw rocks at them? Have you found out about their friends who died fighting for the rights the kids think were always there? The funny thing is that the kids that have a little gratitude and acceptance are not here commenting. You know a lot of older guys would rather be blocked by you guys than get the silent rejection that you throw at them. Guess what kids, young entitled gay men don't understand a **** thing about being gay or oppressed and to make it even worse for the older guys they are being oppressed by Their own community for fighting and surviving. Get over yourselves. Your day is coming. If you don't start fighting for the things that are being taken back you will be back at Stonewall. Then what? Who bans the guys that think gays should be executed? You? I don't think so.
