Sure, but like… maybe that data isn’t really relevant either if that’s how it was phrased?
Pollster: “Have you ever had sex with a woman?”
Closeted 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

People weren’t gay until 1989 so that makes sense. Literally not a single one.

But society was a fair bit more socially conservative when discussing homosexuality.

Depends which society. In Iran there are no gay people so there’s no conversation to begin. Literally not a single one. 😏

Now I’m thinking of the African guy talking about how gay sex means they “eat the poo poo”.

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.
