Crossposting this because anti_cishet_action has been buggy lately

The idea of men being unsexy past a certain age is really disturbing. Not only does it ape a harmful part of straight culture (women hitting “the wall”) but it ignores the reality of actual gay death. How many gay people, twinks included, were lost to the worst of the AIDS crisis under Reagan? How many gay people have been lost to suicide? How many more queer people have to die before people learn that arbitrary beauty standards doesn’t help the queer community?

I would like to encourage the comments of this post to be filled with examples of twinks in their 40s or older.
