Gays got pounded even before 2016. W and his marry men of assholes were going after gays and gay marriage during his term.
Actually now that I think about it I’m pretty sure Republicans were scapegoating gays as far back as Reagan.

Yeah whoever made this is young. The anti gay rhetoric was so much worse 1970-2000. Obama was against gay marriage in 2008.
Before 1970 it was barely controversial and everyone thought being gay was a literal mental disorder. Famous actor Rock Hudson had a sham marriage to a woman in 1955 because it couldn’t publicly seem too likely he was gay or it would ruin his career. He later got AIDS and asked his friend Ronald Reagan to save his life in 1985 but was rejected because helping a dying gay friend survive was seen as too politically controversial.
Calling any year when gay marriage was legal nationwide the bad year for gay people is absurd.

Phrasing? Are we still doing phrasing?
