    The unwelcoming post title aside (I assume in jest)…

    A single takeaway of my personal opinion from this series of polls is that Gen Z is comfortable with themselves, don’t feel the need to hide, and the older generations are following suit and/or the long fought battle for social change from the older generations have finally yielded an environment that people can just be themselves.

    I’m 100% straight millennial (and thus didn’t have to deal with this struggle personally), but I can for sure say the general culture today, I would feel comfortable being out in, but in 2012… I would not have been. Still dealing with people I thought were accepting people falling for the the Prop 8 BS from… what was that, 2008?

    Proud for having a generally more accepting and welcoming culture/society.
