– Why do you want to leave?
– Homosexuality
– What do you mean?
– Well, 300 years ago, if you were gay, you would have been hanged, drowned, cut into pieces.
100 years ago, if you were gay, you would have been hanged.
50 years ago, if you were gay, you would have been whipped and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
20 years ago, if you were gay, you would have been fined 20 pounds and sentenced to two years in prison.
Five years ago, you would have been given a small fine and forgiven, you would have gotten off with a warning.
– So why are you leaving?
– I’m afraid it will become mandatory…”.
Dave Allen, the great British comedian, 1970
Smart people already understood what was going on…
