Does anyone else remember when homosexuality was unspeakably disgusting and universally condemned--even by Communists? (They still condemn it in countries that they run.)
I don’t remember. I don’t think I even thought about homosexuality until I was in my 30s, which would be in the 1990s.
Jimmy Carters was the first presidential administration to encourage people to be gay. Before him it was taboo.
