Do you think things are different for Gen Z, especially they live in a non-shithole area?
I have some younger cousins that are in my old high school and they said that there are many openly out gay kids and a GSA (or whatever it's called now I can't remember). Those kids have boyfriends and girlfriends and go to dances and whatever and no one really cares, It's fine.
When I was in the same high school, this was around 2005, there was maybe a handful of out kids and they were like the effeminate drama kids that were obviously gay and there was no GSA.
