I'm not arguing against that, genius, I'm saying "the term was only invented in 1868" is fucking meaningless to the discussion of laws invented half a century later.

Also, btw? Homosexuality, specifically, was decriminalized in 1917. Because, as extremely well read leftist nerds, they knew and agreed with the distinction.

Stalin is the one who recriminalized it in 1933.
