      1. We're familiar with the narrative of how right-wing outlets were openly racist in 1950s/1960s & then as social mores changed started to recast their arguments with euphemisms & dog whistles. Less discussed is how this same arc replicated over LGBTQ issues in 1970s/1980s.

      2. Homophobia is still a tremendous social force but the sheer explicitness of 1980s arguments is striking. Here's Pat Buchanan in 1984.pic.twitter.com/G9Fs8gKiRd

          3. Here's American Spector in 1980s about Harvey Milk, the assassinated gay leader. The Trotsky comment is from the well-known humorist P.J. O'Rourke.pic.twitter.com/ORkdCluMJk

          4. More thoughts here about why Tucker Carlson's homage to the assassin of Harvey Milk was no outlier but an outgrowth of a widely shared homophobia.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/tucker-carlson-should-own-his-homophobia?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          I've always wondered why Pat Buchanan didn't just go the rest of the way and grow a little square mustache.

          My mother, a strong Midwestern Democrat, was pretty much in agreement with him on this issue back then. He wasn’t that outside of the mainstream.

          Right-wing rhetoric regarding the “T” portion of the acronym is still pretty explicit
