well, for one thing many of these "boomers" have the power to change the laws of this country (or to influence social feelings toward queer people) and in their ideal world want the death penalty for queer people; and for another, you're not going to find people who object to the ongoing oppression of queer people in the US and think it isn't fucked up that Afghanistan executes gay people or whatever, so... ironically you're doing the twitter stereotype of making up a person to get mad at here. i don't think this describes literally any person of significance in the queer community
You're also making up a person with your "changing the laws" via the power of boomers tweets.
Personally, I don't care what happens in the US. It's a third-world country and will continue to remain as such.
you've pretty glaringly misread my post if you think that's what i said. my point here is--i think pretty unambiguously--that we have no shortage of "boomers" who tweet and are in positions of power to directly influence the law. these are not the mutually exclusive groups you present, or seem to think them as being.
Where are you from? In my country, we had a referendum on equality, likewise did other democratic countries, such as Ireland and Taiwan.
These countries already show that the Boomers are an inherent minority, and they lack the numbers and political power to change this.
