In the 1970s, homosexuality became an identity and no longer a practice, giving the gay community the status of a "minority group".
This angered many non-former colony countries who use political homophobia as part of their rejection of globalisation because they now face persecution accusations and sanctions from the UN.
Progress and backlash go hand in hand. The more progress made, the more public backlash.

Book about the global gay rights movement(s). Most interesting thus far: "political homophobia" = former colonies seeing foreign gay rights groups networking in their countries as a new form of "white colonialism".
And that the idea of LGBTQ+ is uniquely Western. It doesn't apply in many places which have a totally different way of categorising sexual orientation & gender.

It's not like there weren't problems (there are always problems) but the amount of advancement really can't be underestimated.
