Forty years ago, public views about homosexuality were extremely negative in many rich countries. As the chart shows, back in 1984, one in three Dutch people believed homosexuality was “never or rarely justified”. In Spain and Great Britain, that view was held by the majority. Perhaps most strikingly, three-quarters of Americans thought the same.
My worry is “what happens when they run out of trans people and immigrants to harass, and they need another new distraction? What was the last culture war the fascists in this country lost, that they bitterly still remember?”
The Nazis didn’t stop at Jews just because they hated them the most. Eventually they got around to the other “undesirables”.
