Not the first time i have observed this as well as transphobia being used as a cudgel on anti america twitter. Sucks tbh when america basically invented violent homophobia in its modern incarnation

      Stability and prosperity are the best things for making cultures more accepting of queer people, and really anyone who lives counter to social norms. It’s a trend that’s pretty easily observed throughout history. So yeah the rich stable global north countries have a better track record with gay rights than the exploited destabilized global south. The handful of AES states have have managed to stabilize and prosper did begin to improve on that front, slower than they should have but they did improve. It’s nothing “unique” to American culture, it’s just that having a comfy life with lots of treats makes you less likely to give a fuck if your neighbor is gay or trans.
