    Absolutely true. No one (well, very few, even the obvious ones) was even openly gay before the 2000s

    People who weren’t around as at least a teen before 2000s have no clue how silent anyone was on being gay. It just about never was discussed

    It was not a safe thing to admit. Being trans would be significantly worse for them I’m sure

    The original question is just groomer-accusing trash, probably by someone who indoctrinates children religiously and are scared another group “with an agenda” might get to them first

      Yep. Nobody was out in the 90s. None. The one goth kid that wore a tiny bit of eyeliner was a big fucking deal and he was straight (had a big tiddy goth gf).

        You’re going too far. There were definitely plenty of kids out in the 90s. Not as many as today, but maybe one or two per school, depending on the school.

          Being “out” as in everyone knew it publicly, or just some rumors going on and maybe their closest friends actually being in on it?

          In my highschool of 600 people in the 2000s i am not aware if a single person that was officially out. Instead for most of the people you’d suspect it, it later became official.
