I work retail, so I see a lot of members of the public everyday. By now, most everyone no longer wears masks. With few exceptions though, there are two groups I notice who still wear masks with some regularity - older folks (which totally makes sense, weakened immune systems and all that), and young queer folks.
By this I mean people with progress flag buttons/patches/pins/shirts/hats usually paired with other social justice accessories, and, not to stereotype, but quite often also with unusual or brightly dyed hairstyles.
I want to be clear, this isn't a judgement thing, or a criticism or anything. I'm just genuinely curious why the LGBTQ+ community seems to be the last holdout of mask wearers. I suppose some of it could be confirmation bias, but I'm very confident in calling this a trend.
Not trying to debate anyone, just trying to understand!
