Article by Advocate about another aging rock star, in this case Alice Cooper, being an intolerable bigot who lost touch with a world that is progressing beyond his limited imagination

    it seems like every week there’s another article about an older celebrity that “doesn’t get it” about the modern age…

      That - unfortunately - is my impression too. Currently we see the “great reshuffling” as celebs dare to openly admit to their bigotry.

      Which is crazy. My 87 year old grandmother has and has had no issue at all accepting everyone for who they are. That woman won’t even have to think about it. You could tell her you were trans and she would say “that is excellent, we must go shopping now!” and that’d be the end of it. She shows every day how easy it is to just accept people. Just like her mom. So yeah, sorry to ramble, but these folks gotta quit using age as an excuse.

      EDIT: this is even more on point, because my grandmother is a HUGE Alice Cooper fan. I will not be sharing this news with her, cause it’d break her heart.
