I’m not saying it isn’t. I’m saying a lot of the things in the post were only accessible to people with privilege.

Being 20 in the US in 1969 and not getting drafted into Vietnam? Summer of 69 being more defined by Woodstock than the racial justice uprising that swept across black communities virtually every summer of the 60s (including 69)? Finding a woman who grew up in a super tiny town and her NOT being super racist against you? Getting a well-paying job with no qualifications? Not getting redlined out of being allowed to buy a decent house, let alone being allowed to buy 10 acres?

None of that was accessible to people of color, poor people, or women, let alone openly lgbtq people.
