If they changed the question now they wouldn't have continuous data going back to 1989 anymore.
But society was a fair bit more socially conservative when discussing homosexuality.
Now I'm thinking of the African guy talking about how gay sex means they "eat the poo poo".
Me and my lifelong roommates having each other's backs throughout life. Its good to have friends.
You're kind of not wrong in a way because in a lot of societies and cultures, even in the past, being gay wasn't seen as abnormal or it was a part of certain politics etc, so likely people could 'get away' with a lot more than they can now. There are and were also cultures where it's not seen as an other, which is the world we can all hope for.
Sure, but like... maybe that data isn't really relevant or trustworthy either if that's how it was phrased?
Pollster: "Have you ever had sex with a woman?"
Closeted sexually active 28 year old gay guy when being gay could get you ostracized or killed: "Oh.... y... yeah! I love the vaginas. So... slippery and... moist (gag)"
Pollster: "NICE!" high five
Yeah, this problem applies to all questions.
