I haven't necessarily noticed that as such in my everyday life, but the Saturn-Uranus conjunction is within 5 degrees of exact from November 1987 to January 1989, and with that coinciding with a mini-baby boom, that could make sense. It also occurs to me that of all the people I knew in my class in high school (people I knew... not just friends), I know conclusively of only one who is gay, and I don't know any who are trans. Many of my classmates are straight-married, and the wives among those were pretty much fine taking the husband's last name. Granted, this could simply have been the circles I hung out with and/or the fact that it was the mid-00's in a conservative part of the country... but still, if 10% of millennials identify as LGBTQ+, where were they in my graduating class?
Looking at the Saturn-Uranus conjunction history: Last one was at the end of Taurus in 1942, just before the Baby Boom. Its cohort would have been the high school classes of 1959-61. Before that, 1897 in Scorpio. If there's something to this, I'd imagine we should also look at these time periods.
