The (queer) kids are alright.
Recently, I went to a (historically extremely lib and very performative but I repeat myself) LGBT meetup and figured I'd test the waters with this patch from Off Color Decals. I was feeling a little fighty.
All my encounters were comrades. Best comment to summarize the vibe: "I used to worry about gun control a lot, but if the folks on the other side of the protest are armed, I'd much rather have rifles on our side too."
I got to invite a bunch of fresh-out-of-college queers to shooting lessons!
Oh and the guest speaker dropped three "fuck capitalism"s. Some of the oldheads bitched about it online later on, and basically got "Ok Boomer"ed.
I thought I could cause a scene/start an argument, and maybe grab one or two folks. Instead, the vibes may be shifting, and this gives me great hope.
