Activism for the social justice of marriage equality 90s was more unionized LG than decriminalization of 60s which was just G. Political volunteering had a genuine universal human right to it. Pride, hate speech protections, and DEI employment inclusions was activism that was more supremacist than boomers reached for. Boomers wanted freedom, but didn't need/reach for status of "equally normal" or identity power. They were happy to have big city gay bars, disco culture, or rocky horror picture show, though that blurs into gen x. The term LGBTQ is a fairly recent invention.
