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.
They not only think, there is hard evidence lgbtqi+ acceptance is (slowly) diminishing in a lot of western countries. Basically the same countries as where the (far-)right is on the rise.
That’s bummers
