OK, you know I read your post earlier (I made some comments at Mr. T) And I have been thinking long and hard about this question.
I recall being a young kid I distinctly recall a bit more hostility that was expressed, typically, by groups of 'straight' men who would use baseball bats or other instruments of education to 'teach' faggots God's 'Love'.
I had three friends who were beaten, for being gay by a gang of individuals, kicked, punched one victim they used a chain on.... not pretty, and there were hospital stays. One who was bashed to death with the tool of education (a baseball bat) over a course of several years.
I also recall fondly how when #2 beat the crap out of me the officers of the Las Vegas police Department expressed their contentment that all was right in the world because as a faggot I got exactly what I deserved.. a sound beating by another faggot who towered over me and had at least 80 pounds on me.
A little over three years later, while at the ER getting a cast put on my arm, I recall that #3 wasn't allowed to come back because he wasn't a member of my family. Which actually was ok because it was he who broke my arm.. perhaps the only time that gay lovers being banished from the ER was actually a welcomed relief by the patient.
No the police were not called I said 'I fell' instead of saying 'that big guy who is wanting to be in here, he broke my arm' because I knew the police would do little to nothing because it was just two faggots, and no one cared about faggots.
The sad thing about the 1980's and the 1990's was that no one talked about the baseball bats, or cops failing to do their jobs. The terrible thing is that media turned a blind eye to any case where a gay man (or woman) was beaten, tortured, killed and various other horrific things as soon as they found out the victim was you know 'that way'....
today a kid gets bullied on the internet for being gay (not 'that way' but acknowledged as gay) people throw up their arms in disgust, screaming, raging at the horrific-ness of it all and have actually a large following of people who want to stop bulling in school.
And every basebat story that takes place, now pretty much hits the front page of most local newspapers as relavant news.
And cops, oh they might believe that the 'faggot got what he deserved' but if they fail to do their job and make a few arrests, they lose their job over that.
So, its the second decade of the 21st century really all that bad, or is it that now we as a society are coming to grips with this, and media are reporting it and people are aware and the majority actually care about this stuff?
