Supreme Court to decide whether website designer may decline same-sex weddings

[Claire Oh Nette]

15. Nor will she ever have any same sex client couples...

My parents were Depression era babies. LGBT were strictly closeted. THose life long single aunts or uncles? Probably gay. (1%)

My birthparents were baby boomers--first cohort. LGBT still closeted, but they came of age in the 60s, so their minds were opened. (3%)

Mr. OhNette is later baby boom. In his later 60s, he has friends and colleagues who were out. Live and let live. (6%)


Gen X. We came of age with AIDS, and Reagan, so we knew Rock Hudson was gay, and Elton John, and Billie Jean King, and we remember how shitty people were to Ryan White. Our friends were dying not long after high school. (8%)

Millennials--even more open and tolerant. They were born into a world where LGBT folks existed. Like Technology, it's part of the fabric of their lives. (12%)

And finally, those coming of age now, Gen Z.
17% of those born after 2000 identify as LGBTQ. That's almost 20%.


20% means that horse has left the barn. Many of that Gen Z cohort were 14, 15, 16, 17 in 2020. They'll be olde enough to vote in 2022 and 2024.

Beau of the fifth column did a great video on this.
