I remember once talking with my grandmother about how gay people where treated when she was young, and the stigmas back then compared to the level of acceptance today. I guess this is one of the big social changes during your lifespan.
The way it came up was that we were visiting here at a home in her little town in the mountains and I commented on an old lady with a really bad posture, and my grandmother told me the lady had always walked like that, with a slightly crouched back - because she didn't want her breasts to show, she wished she was a man. I found it quite sad.
Do you remember how you felt about stuff like this, and has it changed? Do you remember anything about how gay people were treated when you were young?
I'm not gay myself, and noone in my family is (at least that I know of), I just find it interesting.
