I'm more exposed to American conservatism. And even here I barely understand it. I used to be Christian, but I left the religion before I realized I was bi, and before I knew genderfluidity and trans people existed.

I guess I'd have to know why individual religious groups, countries, cities,(etc...) have anti-LGBTQ beliefs. Maybe there are no blanket statements that properly address it for the entire world.

a really whole lot of it is hegemonic christianity, either directly in euro cultures, introduced by colonizers centuries ago, or american churches backing anti-gay laws in africa more recently.

i'm not sure where you'd find boomers being boomers about gay stuff that wasn't traceable to the catholic or east orthodox church. maybe china?

Bit idea: Greek Boomers in early AD complaining about “the good old days” before the spread of Christianity, when men could be men, which means men having sex with men.
