What the conservatives in the 90s said would happen if we embraced homosexuality happened. They totalled called it.

We just believed the propaganda we were fed. Just as kids do now.

You just have to sit and think, why did societies take such a harsh stance against homosexuality in the past?

(Oh it's because they were a bunch of old-fashioned bigots)

Ok sure but why were they old fashioned bigots? If gay people never caused issues why was society so opposed to it?

Something made society that way.

I'm not saying we send out people to police people's bedrooms or raid the gay bars, I don't think we should do that. But I do think public expressions of sexuality shouldn't really be encouraged.

You can extend that logic to reasons why we did other things in the past, like not allowing women to vote, control money or property, work, etc. Perhaps it wasn't just sexism, and there were reasons for those as well.

Since sexism was so normalized in those days I think the real reason was most people just aren't able to question what is. If that's how society is already set up and that's what everyone else believes, they go along with it, even if it makes absolutely zero sense.
