LGBTQIA+ on Sidechat | i’m always confused when people say “being gay in the 80s in *enter US state here* was hard.” like is that not the case for every state except for new york and california at the time?? (even those are a stretch probably)

I mean i wish i knew what exactly you were quoting but i can think of a few reasons -to set the scene -for emphasis -to indicate a personal experience Like there are narrative/rhetorical reasons to say that, and you agree that the statement does not imply that it wasn’t the case everywhere, so like wdym “wdym”
