Interesting. I consider "don't tell me what to do with my body / life" just to be the framing for how those movements were packaged and sold. Especially because opposition to these movements also framed similarly with "Don't tell me how to practice my religion / educate my kids".
if liberty was just the marketing for gay rights, what in your opinion were we actually fighting for? separately, the opposition to gay rights absolutely wasn't framed "don't tell me how" in the early 90s - they were in charge. no one was telling them how to do anything.

Liberty and Justice. And societies that were much earlier to adopt gay rights lean further towards the 'collectivist' end of the spectrum than the US, rather than being more 'individualist'.

assuming you mean scandinavian countries, which *also* argued for gay rights from principle of liberty, and btw aren't nearly as collectivist as cuba or the ussr, two of the scariest nations in history for gay ppl.
