I grew up gay in Amarillo Texas. I was able to move to Dallas before I was 30. Almost all of our family moved to the Bay Area in California in the 50's and 60's. I have also seen extraordinary social progress. But the progress has been very uneven between areas of the country, and even now, Amarillo is not as socially advanced as the Bay Area was in the 60's.
And now the reich-wing wing has an intense focus on promoting exactly toxic masculinity in the gamer culture of young men. During the coming economic turbulence engendered by the Trump regime I'm worried that there will be a great number of economically frustrated young men looking to take out their frustration on everyone whom they see as of a lower social status than themselves.
I wish that the Democratic party could educate these young men to realize that it isn't the marginalized classes taking away their opportunities.
