  1. Gasp, 'regular' gays?! As a Millennial it's probably my duty to call you out as a racistbigothomophobfascist. (Sarcasm, everyone calm down, extinguish your torches)

  2. (Millennials reading this comment in their secret strategy lair) Why those damn racist non-white people, how dare they!

  3. You're also absolutely correct from what I've see, to the point that I've heard older black parents in particular, when asked if they would want their son to be gay, they reply to the tune of " No, he's already black, he doesn't need MORE working against him". And it's a point I can see, if you stand out and face adversity for it, it makes sense not to try to stand out even more from the crowd.

  4. As a 35 year old millennial I feel like the younger generation all the time, because mainly the people I hang out with and get along with the best are prople in their 40s and early 50s. I feel more in common with them than say someone in their early or mid-20s. I went to a 4 year University starting at age 24 and the kids back then coming there out of high school were like an alien species to me.

  5. I turn 36 in less than a week and I label myself an 'Eldely Millennial'. As a mostly-conservative mostly-republican I don't really care if people are gay or whatever they want to be, but I also feel that OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS IS THEIR BUSINESS. I was the 'Best Man' at my Uncle's marriage to his awesome husband lol. I've said your orientation or whatever should be like your underwear, wear whatever crazy kind you want, or none at all, but it's disrespectful to have your underwear hanging out in public. It's all about personal choice and personal rights, I feel. Do I approve of and support abortion? NO, but if you chose to have one, well that's your choice. I wish you'd choose differently, but it's not my place to make you behave how I want you to any more than it's their/your place to tell me what to do. Something I've thought about recently as a Millennial is our gens lack of a positive defining event like pervious gens had: ww1 generation saved Europe from evil, Greatest Generation had the Great Depression and Ww2 with America saving the world from evil AGAIN, then Gen X had Vietnam and watching the first human in history, an American, walk on the moon...our defining moment, as it happened to me, was sitting in American History class your senior year of high school at age 18 and watching two of the tallest buildings on this continent collapse and kill thousands of your fellow citizens live on CNN. Unlike such events in previous gens, we have yet even nearly 2 decades later had any moment of triumph over that defining event. We've won no war, we've had no great victory, if anything it's all been downhill since 9/11. It's surreal to have graduated high school in 2002 because we will forever be known, no matter what, the Class of 9/11/2001. I was a speaker at my graduation ceremony, elected to do so by my class, and in my 5 minute speech I made it a blatant point to say NOTHING about Sept 11th, not a word, not an allusion, not a reference, nothing, because by then what was there to say that everyone hadn't heard? I wanted my speech to be about us, our school year before and outside of that tragedy, and the future moving past it, and I got many compliments for that decision.
