Anyone who tells you that the 40s wasn't super gay needs to explain this.

They whishpered "no homo" after kissing to cancel out the gayness.

No doubt there were plenty of gay men back then but were they widely accepted?

Considering it would get you a dishonorable discharge from the military, no.

While I get this characterization of Cap, I've never thought cap would be like that. He's supposed to be the best of the best, not physically or mentally, but morally. His moral compass is absolutely above thinking that rascism is good or homosexuality is bad. He'd probably be seen as a progressive at the time, would probably adapt really well to modern society.

Sorry, Cap is one of my favorites, fanboy gonna fanboy :p

Absolutely agree, got a big crush on Cap so I like to imagine he's too tuned into the purest version of the 🇺🇸American spirit🇺🇸 to hate. But it is funny to suspend that and think about what if he was just a grumpy old man
