I saw a conversation here where someone thought homophobia wasn't that bad in the 90s.

I had someone else say they didn't remember any anti-Japanese racism in Australia in the 90s. I being on the receiving end of it would remember it pretty strongly, but to forget it entirely?

Just really poor memory

(History? I guess this is history subbear. Given how much people seem to misinterpret events happening now, what does that say about writing of events at the tim?)

Shit homophobia was really bad even in the aughts.

It's still really bad today in most countries. And for those that live in countries where homophobia is no longer "as bad", do you really think that the abrupt change in opinion by the straights over the last decade is legitimate? From the outside, I don't buy it.

What would they be pretending for?

To try and assimilate queer movements into the social model of gender so it can continue to oppress and subjugate. This is why trans acceptance has taken so long. It’s subversive towards that.
