re: #187 The Vicious Babushka

Remember American Bandstand? A lot of the (all white) kids who danced on that show were gay.

That’s another reason not to fetishisize “the good old days.” The way those kids especially in those macho neighborhoods had to worry about being seen as gay. I mean I get why people do it, your childhood years are easy to romanticize but as much as I did enjoy growing up in the 1990’s, I do appreciate that the kids of today are more progressive minded on a lot of issues.
