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?)

Shit homophobia was really bad even in the aughts.

I don't think homophobia ever got better, I'm just not in highschool anymore where those same 3 dudes quote family guy constantly and have favorite slurs had a captive audience. At pretty much any job, you can at least get fired for being annoying (also discrimination laws).
