Gay people have always been around, being homophobic is a thousands of years old trope and you're never going to be able to make people not gay! No one is giving your kids hormones or surgery at school and no one is making them gay, propoganda is beating yall asses
Imma try to keep this brief but quick history lesson... this specific rhetoric is literally how the Nazi party rose to power. I studied abroad in Berlin and learned a lot about the Weimar Republic which I had never even heard of before. They don't teach it here on purpose (1/?)
