I always enjoy talking to the elder gays, even though sometimes the men will be kinda inappropriate.
My favourite was this one old guy who came up to me while I was on a smoke break at work and immediately asked me "you're trans, aren't you?"
When I apprehensively said yes, he revealed he had transitioned in the late '80s! We had a nice little chat while I finished my smoke, he was really sweet and super proud of how comfortable the new generation of queers was being themselves. I definitely went into the bathroom to have a little happy cry afterwards.
Yeah, I had an old gay Navy veteran who was always trying to come onto me.
My mentor at the time was an old lesbian, retired RN.
The stories they told were both amazing and horrifying.
Thank you for your service! o7
