We have not locked them up. We did lock up a small number of those who were most outrageous or otherwise outed. But the reality is that they have been hiding among us in plain sight forever. That confirmed bachelor or those two old ladies that live together like sisters, read Brideshead Revisited. Read the Purloined Letter. Watch Bewitched. Gay and boys dressing as girls were there in Shakespeare’s time. In fact Shakespeare may have been one. Or take a trip to Pompeii. Look at the art on the walls. There are not more now. They are just out of the shadows so you can see them. That’s what is different.
We locked them up when they were outed. Yes we did. The point was to send a message that if you act homosexual, you will be locked up.

I never said they didn't exist. I said they didn't exist in the numbers they do today.

No, there really are more today. One of the most common characteristics of homosexuals is having been molested as a child. Several studies reveal that a high plurality, if not an outright majority of homosexuals were the victims of molestation.
More of them not locked up causes more child molestations, which causes more dysfunctional adults. Their numbers have been increasing, especially since "Kinsey" and the "Sexual Revolution."
As a matter of fact, every kind of perversion is showing marked gains in the general populace. People nowadays are more perverted than they have been since the Georgian Era, and there are larger percentages of the population engaging in perversion with each passing year.
You just don't see it because you haven't been paying attention to this issue. This stuff is just drifting past you without impinging significantly on your consciousness.
