    I’ve seen this plot enough times to know anyone who is a homophobe is just suppressing their own gay desires.

    We can reasonably correlate this with the rise in racism and the wideninig wealth gap. The usual simple solution, blame anyone different.

      Except the billionaires. Don’t blame them. They really really truly rooly care about each and every one of us, which is why they pay politicians to help them.

        Ah yes, unimaginable wealth always flows down, to others, according to carefully proven evidence from (checking notes)… the unimaginably wealthy! Hoooray!

      these generalizations are always annoying. it suggests in some group homophobia went away and is not coming back. its a thing like racism that is always going to be present to some degree or another. I deally we get to a point where there is little to none. The real problem is things like censorship and making things not allowed to be discussed in schools or such.

    Sadly, this will reflect (political) swings to the extreme right. Currently an American finding, but I suspect similar here in the UK with Farage and friends having a popularity bloom.

    That’s one way to interpret the fact that the past generations have spent billions promoting and normalizing homophobic views for decades, tailored specifically to young males.

        Knows as the Fabulous decade.

        There certainly should be a lag there, from the influences and efforts to the result, from teenagers growing under that to then becoming adults, and from what I see everything rooted in the 90s got it’s lamplight in the 00s and 10s with more acceptance, while the reactive bigotry of 10s gets realized in 2020s. And the lag is getting shorter because our attention span and effectiveness of social media does too.

      They basically treat being a gay man like some sort of communicable disease in that period. It’s so sad to see all this sponsored regression
