It’s hard to believe today, when the vast majority of Americans support it, but just 20 years ago the issue of same-sexmarriage divided the country and drove voter turnout.

The country did a complete 180 on a once-divisive issue starting 20 years ago

The vast majority of Americans opposed same-sex marriage on May 17, 2004, when the first same-sex couples took their vows after a court decision in Massachusetts. Well, times have changed.

It is hard to believe, but this headline shows that Martina was exposed to the same kind of invalidation and harassment as trans women today. Someone does not learn even from their own life experience.

Okay, so, “the economy was good one time 25 years ago” is certainly a viewpoint you’re entitled to! But the vast majority of Americans believed it was very good just a few years ago, when it was almost the same as today

In my entire adult life, the economy mostly hasn't been good for poor or middle class people. But I do specifically remember it not sucking as much right before the dot com bubble burst.

So for a few years in the late 90s, I guess.
