If someone was born post-AIDS (so roughly age 40 and below), they'd have gotten to see things slowly improve until 2016, when they started sliding back.

- George83728 3y ago> until 2016, when they started sliding back. I really doubt there are statistics to back this up. More likely, the number of people consuming rage-bait (drawing attention to the worst) on social media such as reddit has done up. Without such social media, an asshole yells abuse in a store and it ruins the day of 20 people in earshot. With social media, it gets uploaded and viewed by 20,000 people.
- pseudalopex 3y ago2015 had such social media. And LGBT and related people I know talk about laws, mass media, armed protests. Not an asshole yells abuse in a store.
- George83728 3y ago> armed protests How many have you seen? How many have you 'seen' on social media? As for laws, I really think you're missing the bigger picture. Anti-LGBT people had the law on their side a few years ago much more than today (and accordingly, they had less reason to protest.)
