"Every boomer posts on Facebook like this 🤣."
"When my daughter came out to her 84 year old grandmother (not complaining, she was overwhelmingly loving and supportive) she got to spend the next hour hearing about every queer person my mom has ever encountered/worked with/been friends with in her entire life and their individual stories, The highlight was when she was the manager at a dry cleaner's and SO many lesbians applied there, which clearly meant lesbians have an affinity for professionaly cleaning garments."
"i love when old people try and be supportive lmao."
"This is exactly how my mom texts,"
Barbra's tribute resembled stereotypical boomer Facebook behavior and was interpreted by some as well-meaning, generationally awkward support. An 84-year-old grandmother reacted to a granddaughter coming out with overwhelming love and then recounted numerous anecdotes about queer people she had known, including memories from managing a dry cleaner where many lesbians applied, humorously suggesting an 'affinity for professionaly cleaning garments.' Additional reactions described older generations' supportive attempts as endearing and noted that such phrasing and tone often mirror parental or grandparental texting and social expressions of care.
