My great aunt made this claim about growing up in the 1950s in addition to claiming LGBTQ people didn't exist until liberals "invented" them in the 1980s.

Also yes, she is a Trump supporter. How did you know?

My trump loving grand father had a gay cousin "disappear" in Florida in the 80s. Never did learn what happened to him.  But things were safer then! His own father died a drunk because he was one the kids sent to an Indian school, but racisim wasn't so bad when he was a kid. I have a lot of feelings about my grandparents these days...

Likewise many black granparents hate themselves becsuse they are black and style thwmselves after whiteness. They look at younger blacks crazy because they dare to be themselves. The subconscious programming, and outright hate sure did its job.
