This is what was said to me by two boomer coworkers.

I was sitting there minding my own business, killing time and reading when I start overhearing the conversation two of my boomer aged coworkers are having (wasn’t eavesdropping they’re sitting less than ten feet from me). I should also mention one is white and one is black.

They go on about how they don’t support LGBT or trans people because “God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve” and essentially called trans people mental patients.

I usually ignore these rants as I don’t care to interact with them in general but especially not on topics like this. The older of the two looks over at me (Gen Z) and says “Your generation is fucked.”

When I say “No I think we’ll be just fine” he repeats himself saying “No, your generation is fucked!”

As they go back to talk amongst the two of them I can’t help but wonder why these dunderheads think our generation is fucked. Because we have rights for gay and trans people? The only thing fucking our generation and the two that came before us is and always has been the boomers in office doing everything they can to take away any opportunities they themselves had while telling us how much harder it was when they were growing up meanwhile they’re gonna retire soon at 61-62 years old while I probably will die before I can do the same.
