I find it interesting how humanity goes in these huge cycles. For example Babylon during the biblical era was the most LGBTq friendly place on earth and now present day Babylon (Iraq) puts people to death for being gay let alone trans.It will be all over soon#BabylonMustFall
Persia did a similar thing and now became iran, the honorary foreign legion of Harlem.
Now coming back to the US, I think we did the reverse cycle, because I'm certain the puritans Lutherans quakers etc of 1776 we're as equally against LGBTQ as the middle east is today. But now this nation is the trail blazing Babylon of earth.
We (as a species) will probably still be arguing about gender identity in the year 3100AD. Would be hilarious if Arab (or even African) nations pivoted back to lgbt-friendliness in the future and started wagging their fingers at a conservative west for tolerance
