- dylan604 4y agopersecution of non-straight people is not new. are you wanting a source for linking queer and witchcraft specifically as one, as I'm not sure that's what the GP was intended even if the wording leans that way.
- MonkeyClub 4y agoIMHO queer there meant non-conforming (“weird”), which would make sense: eccentric-looking people would draw the label of witchcraft.
- CWuestefeld 4y agoIt's hard to see what else might have been intended, since this phrase seems to be linked to the "anti-witchcraft propaganda" phrase, with nothing else dangling there to apply it to.
