It truly boils down to one thing:
Many of the older LGBTQ+ generation truly thinks that things are like they were when they were younger.
I see it all the time on Grindr: Most older guys want DL, discreet meetings usually in some shady hidden place. I've talked to several that are even uncomfortable coming over because they are nervous of computers in the room lmao! As if they are being secretly recorded or something. They are stuck in a mindset and time that has long long passed. It is if they think being caught in a gay act will cause society to shame them or something. Conversely, the younger guys on Grindr (including me) are very much in the open. We actually show our profile picture, we want long term FWBs, no issues recording the sex lol, etc. Of course there are big exceptions but I am talking about a TREND.
See, I grew up when being gay (and actually ESPECIALLY bi) was considered cool in school! At least as of five years ago, lol, and I'm sure it's that much moreso now. And maybe thats not true everywhere....as I said....there is a whole regional aspect to this. That may STILL not fly in like, an Alabama, but it sure is "cool" in NJ. We had our gay clique and not ONCE were we called a derogatory name. In fact, me and a straight boy french kissed right at the lunch table. Why? For laughs.
Even before my time in school, when emo and scene kids were popular, a huge chunk of them were bi and it was considered "cool".
I don't think the older generation truly understands that.
