Oof I pressed a nerve, okay, let me rephrase. What you said doesn’t make sense because to anyone with half a brain at the time, being gay in the 90s was fucking awful. And that’s not a personal attack, a personal attack would be you sound like either a troll or delusional, and in either case you clearly have a poor grasp on your emotions judging from how defensive you got.
I don’t care if it makes sense to you, and honestly, that doesn’t matter. You came in hot, invalidating my experiences, and the things I have seen with my own eyes, basically calling me a liar. and unless you were there, by my side at that moment, you cannot fucking say that. Because you don’t fucking know.
I think you’re projecting, i came in with a mildly pointed response saying my opinion differed, you immediately became hostile, and judging from the rest of this thread it’s probably due to how much you’ve been arguing with people here about this. Honestly I think you should take a break from this thread, sleep on it, and come back tomorrow
Would you be willing to tell us about it? Why is life so much worse now than the period of stuff like the AIDS crisis, Operation Soap, Section 28 and Romer v Evans… Before the widespread recognition amd legalization of same sex marriage and the lowered barriers for trans people to change their identification documents that resulted.
I think you have people legitimately confused for your reasons because a lot of that history is painted as essentially a war and mass genocide by inaction primarily of lesbian, gay and bisexual people. While I know of a few of my trans elders have said that there was less individual heat on trans identities as there are now, it still doesn’t seem like on the whole it was a great time. People were still murdered for being trans and a lot of the fight for non-binary trans people were struggling with much deeper form of erasure.
I think people are concerned that what you are putting forward is your personal experience which may be narrower than the full encompassing experience of the entire LGBTQIA which it is assumed the question is being asked about. The birds eye veiw, of all the identities and the culture of the movement from that full ten year span. It’s generally assumed by younger people that most things are better now because at least we aren’t dropping like flies so it’s natural that the reaction to your opinion is disbelief.
I’m not interested in indulging your hallucinations or drug induced hypotheticals. I Live it here, today. And if you’re not willing (or capable of) to deal with reality, then you clearly are not capable of having a rational conversation.
I’m sorry this may be the first time that someone finally stood up to you and told you that you’re bat shit fucking insane, but this is actually quite a normal reaction to the type of person you are, and the things you said.
If you wish to continue your behavior, expect more of this. I certainly am not going to stop calling you out.
Lmao at you blaming me for your actions. Wow
YOU choose to stop with your lies and hallucinations. YOU choose to stop replying with your mentally-ill suppositions. YOU alone are responsible for you actions.
And I will continue to hold you to account until you stop. Don’t like it?
I did. Don’t tell me what I did and didn’t see or live through.
How arrogant and presumptuous of you to think you could presume my entire life experience from a few internet comments.
Oh, and making personal attacks to further your position just highlights how weak your argument is.

No, you’re just blaming me for your inability to consider another point of view that may in fact be better supported by the evidence than your own.
That’s just called denial. Don’t blame me for your own ability to cope with the reality of the situation. That’s on you.

Let me know when you’re out of rehab
Removed, civility.
Ookay… That is a very outsized violent reaction. I think you may have had a bit too much internet for one day.
