I honestly don’t think they’d understand whats going on. Whens the last time you saw coverage about something like that, george michael? Maybe they’d think it was an illegal party, or some kinda grindr flash mob, but the cultural reference of raids is just gone unless your 40+.

I don’t think people remember how rampent homophobia was in the 90’s. Coaches called the kids gay slurs, news papers gleefully posting about politicans picked up in rest stop raids, people still thinking you could catch aids from touching or kissing. The little victories about gay characters on tv, or bands with queer coded songs must have been so empowering to kids who didnt have anywhere else to turn. The liberal position in most places was the don’t ask dont tell policy, and even if they accepted you, they’d tell you to keep your mouth shut about it because it was dangerous for everyone to know.

Also, pansy division fucking rules, still play sometimes, and have incredibly funny filthy lyrics “Whipped my ass in tennis” is a banger.
