Homosexuality isn't cool anymore, dude. No one gives a crap if someone 'comes out' about being gay. Now it's much cooler to claim to be 'trans'. or gendercrunchymcnuggets or whatever silly-ass label you care to slap on yourself.
Homosexuality has lost its shock value. ItтАЩs like being left-handed, a comparison that runs deep.
There were always gays desperate to be at the center of attention. Nobody cares anymore, so now we have people whose тАЬtransтАЭness forms the foundation of endless tiresome grievances.
I'm not as close to it as you are, but I don't recall gays as being so endlessly aggrieved. But it was a lot less political; the chronic trans grievance we see isn't about 'transphobia' but traditional entitled (often, but not always white) male grievance about feminism. The 'womanface' is just a costume for the performative 'outrage'.
In my generation we would claim to be bisexual. Now they claim "trans."
