Why does it seem the world is all of a sudden concerned about sexual orientation? Especially America. Did I miss how far we came as a society to see it take a 40 year step backwards? (lemmy.world)

The forces of reaction never went away, they just weren't as narketable for a few years, there. Companies are trying to increase their marketshare among bigots while also not alienating the people that don't hate gay people. So you get pinkwashed corporate logos and genocide along with cancelled gay shows and an increase in false history nouveau Westerns.
