"Kids these days"

"accepting of queerness"

Sorry but where is this?

In my liberal US city, kids in school (around 2010s to 2020s) still use "gay" "fggt" as insults, if you act slightly "feminine" as a guy, its "gay", if you act slightly more friendly to a guy, they'll call you the f-slur and none of my peers would ever call them out for that. We're still a long way before acceptance actually become the norm in schools.

And cherry on top, just now that thinking about this, I remember a white kid joking about about a hispanic classmate's immigration status like, for example: "hey did you drop something? I hope you didn't drop your green card cuz you're gonna get deported" like I'm not sure if he was a hardcore trump fans or not, but he definitely didn't care about other people's feelings. And it was during trump term 1, which makes that situation even more fucked up now in hindsight. Teachers most of the time didn't hear it, and even if they did, its just a warning, like nothing would ever get done. This was the same dude that called me a "ching chong" (I'm Chinese-American)

Sorry to bust your bubble, kids are still cruel just as human nature.
