now I want to know the state of gay politics in 2000.
There wasn't much. I'm not gay but I remember it was THE huge scapegoat issue that was literally destroying America with earthquakes and hurricanes before everyone got tired of it and kind of accepted it and then we had gay marriage a few years later...
But those trans people now... 😤
wonder who they'll scapegoat 20 years from now
If we're on the same track we are on now? UNMARRIED WOMEN!!!* Gasp! Shudder!

Where women are defined as being over the age of 14.Whatever it is would be regarded as absurd today and you'd be called a troll for even suggesting it.
2000 version: "You're hurting the gay rights movement by suggesting they're a slippery slope to trannies in the ladies room."
trans people existed then. it was not a big deal, besides a sitcom gimick.
my mother called me with a new moral panic about... furries, the new thing that scares her...
