minus-squarechiliedogg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·3 months agoYou’re underselling just how homophobic we were back then. In the 1990 General Social Survey, only 12% said that gay sex wasn’t wrong. In 1988 (closest year to the 90s the question was asked) only 3% of Americans “Strongly agreed” the gay people should have the right to marry. Also, in 1992, 19% of non-black respondents believed there should be a law against interracial marriage, which is super disturbing.
