This is fascinating because I am even younger (elderly Millennial) and I don't think I would find that question odd, although the context and tone would be important. I grew up in a pretty repressive environment, though, and didn't re-acknowledge my queerness until high school. (Preschool me knew things that Child me was forced to forget!) I'm rapidly becoming a gay dinosaur, though, so I have no point to argue here. I just think it's an interesting discussion.
