they say this shit all the time

Notice that they shifted the goal to merely "raising awareness" which means the protests don't have to actually accomplish anything but people noticing them. These protests do nothing about climate change, they don't cause anyone to think "yes, we need to kill billions" as the protestors want, etc. But oh, they "raise awareness" of the issue surely, so opposing them is complicit. Ignore that we're multiple steps away from addressing the issue itself ("killing billions and ending capitalism") and we're now to where the success is measured by if someone says "what were those assholes doing that for?" "raising awareness of something or other" then we can claim by purity of intent any action is justified.

Is true past societies had more liberal attitude about homosexuality

First mistake you make is thinking about “rewriting of history” when past societies were not thrilled to conserve historical documents as they were or societal and religious reasons to not be objective about the history of not Christian nations (they weren’t even with Christian nations).

I didn’t mean it was open. The same quote pretty much made its clear that was tolerated, not encouraged.

If you read Ancient Greek philosophers it would be clear that they were butt fucking with young people. I dunno why you will consider just fat rednecks attributing stupid shit. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, God knows of many assholes saying that some historical Mexican nun was feminist and lesbian with little evidence and ignoring historical context. I just mean that you also be critical of how old societies interpreted history.

You are also falling in the same progressive mistake that thinks history is entirely a progressive line to enlightenment and not cyclical periods of highs and lows.

No, you're the one doing the progressive mistake. You declared something "true" and then as support cited the lack of any evidence for it while attacking "just fat rednecks attributing stupid shit" neither of which establishes anything as true. In any case, your statement was overly broad, Greek or Roman elites doing something in a specific way says nothing about "past societies" let alone that they were more tolerant than today. There is absolutely no evidence of cyclical periods in history either. We're also ignoring that the lie was not about ancient societies but a Muslim one a century ago.

It's true that today is less tolerant of LGBT people that at any point in history but that's only because Joanne used her wealth to push her personal hatred onto the planet leading to an unceasing genocide. And algorithms. And Elon buying Twitter. And censorship in school libraries. And the changes to cosmetic loot in Overwatch 2. I'm just so tired.
