CPAC, TikTok, and the Evolving Face of Gay Visibility

CPAC and the LGBTQ+ Community: A Generational Divide in Visibility A recent TikTok video by a young LGBTQ+ content creator has sparked discussion about the varying ways gay men present themselves. The video uses a clip from CPAC, featuring two men who identify as "low-key gays," to highlight a generational difference in how LGBTQ+ individuals navigate their identities in public. The creator, reuben (@reubenwoodall), contrasts this with his own "high-key" approach, expressing his belief that open visibility is crucial. He questions if those who fought for LGBTQ+ rights in the past would approve of the more discreet approach of some older generations. The video has generated significant engagement, prompting conversation about the challenges and triumphs of LGBTQ+ visibility and the ongoing fight for acceptance.
