  • I seldom think of it in depth, but there is more a freakout rather than disdain/mockery from past changes.

    I’ve been around enough decades to remember when being gay was something openly derided in both the media and general public treatment. The token gay guy on shows with their steriotypical flamboyance wasn’t done as a representation but as something to laugh at. I know there were and still are violent responses too, but I’m talking more of the public face.

    Still, it was treated as a joke, or generally kind of gross, not as some scary threat to society like trans community seems to be portrayed today.
