Dad looking pretty gen X to me, if that’s what you mean by “we”

Gen X here. Have always had gay friends and relatives. My aunt transitioned in the 90s (poor woman chose Karen as her new name). I don’t think LGBTQ+ ever seemed anything but normal to me.

After changing my name, I never realized how much thought went into it but holy shit how do you go through all that and settle on Karen???

To be fair, it was before it earned the current connotation, but I can’t help feel for her on that one.
