Also, 1990 was like 5 years ago. Wasn’t it?
“in two cases a transsexual mother gained custody of her adopted children after a divorce”
My non-birth lesbian mom got full custody of us (birthmom lost all custody) more than 2 decades ago, but I wouldn’t say that its evidence that the Texas government wasn’t homophobic at the time. Would be weird if I read something like this about Texas in a decade referencing my parent’s custody battle as evidence of Texas being ahead of the curve compared to other southern states in terms of homophobia: it was just a single judge’s decision and birthmom clearly wasn’t fit to be a parent.
lots of social reactionaries in the comments of that video, sad to see :(
“Homosexuality, just like heterosexuality, represents a variant of sexual behavior. Homosexual people do therefore not stand outside socialist society, and the civil rights are warranted to them exactly as to all other citizens.” ― Supreme Court of East Germany, 1987
I feel like such a chud. Like every one else at the time, we celebrated unification and the Berlin wall coming down.
Looking back, I realize we were fed a constant stream of anti-communist propaganda. It was everywhere. TV, movies, video games, comics, news, etc.
If I’d known an inkling of the truth, I would have thought much differently.
