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?)
It only got better when the West realized they could weaponize it through pinkwashing, so it only got better insofar as pinkwashing could only work if Western society is (superficially) tolerant of queer people.
