TRACE Research Manager, Pedro Fidalgo, was interviewed by Maria Almendra de Carvalho for a feature titled “‘E a conta é para dividir?’ Na geração Z, quem paga o primeiro encontro?” published by P3 / Público.
In the interview, Pedro shared his perspectives on queer dating and the evolving dating dynamics among “Generation Z.” He explored how societal norms — sometimes veiled as traditional “courtesy” — continue shaping expectations around who pays for the first date.
As part of TRACE’s broader engagement with LGBTQIA+ ageing, identity, and social norms, this contribution brings empirical and theoretical nuance to contemporary discussions about intimacy, equality, and generational change.
