Hang with my dad for a bit. When he’s lucid, he’ll pop Forrest Gump voices, poke fun at gender neutral pronouns and talk loudly in the open about my gay neighbors (who are amazing). All this often leads to a fight and learning that it’s not ok to verbally abuse boomers, but it’s ok for them to verbally abuse everyone else. This privilege comes with age… so I’m told.
You don’t like boomer humor knee slapper jokes like
“My wife is a removed, please take her”
And
“Oh look it’s a homosexual”
?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen “oh look it’s a homosexual” as a boomer humor joke, but definitely a lot of using LGBT as a sideshow.
