You do realize that’s just a cover phrase people say when they think there is something wrong with that, but don’t want the people they are talking to thinking that they think there is something wrong with that, right?
Yeah, but that was still progress for the time. Public acknowledgment that you SHOULDNT be openly mocking gay people was something. A lot of people forget that in the 80s and 90s, gay people faced the raging bigotry directed at trans people these days. Not that they don’t still face bigotry, but it’s not like it was. In most places. Not yet at least. God it’s depressing to see progress backsliding.
They said “not that there’s anything wrong with that” about gay people in the 90s. WAY better than most of the shit at the time.
