Sometimes peoples opinions are hard to understand, particularly with a 30+ year age difference. We actually agree on virtually all political issues. It’s just that people in their 20s are more attuned to subtleties of language than when I was that age, even as a Boston liberal. I’m not making some major statement here. I think you’re reading too much into this.

Agree with this. I recently got together with a fellow middle aged gay I hadn't seen since college and we marveled at the granularity of identities that are meaningful to college students today. It was funny - we felt like such radicals back in the 90s coming out as gay. Kids today just yawn at that, which, in fairness, is the world we hoped we were creating back then.
