Hey guys,
I was researching information on the LGBT community back in the day. It seems a lot of arguments that were used towards LGBT individuals are very similar to those used against SW in modern times. For instance, I read an article from back in the day, the 70s and 80s, where some conservatives say, "Fatherless homes make homosexual sons." It was something along those lines. However, for some reason, Gay male individuals seem to have gathered more and more acceptance as the decades went by. For some reason, they became a group that became both invisible and more accepted. In the 2000s or 2010s, saying someone became gay because of an absent father seems to be a less accepted argument, particularly among more mainstream circles. I'm not sure why this happened exactly. Instead, the focus switched from gay men to trans men. Especially in 2010, it seemed to be accepted or widespread to be "transphobic," you see it in social media.
Likewise, it seems Sex workers, particularly female sex workers, seem to suffer a lot of negativity given to them. For instance, OF models on social media. The main argument brought forth by conservative groups is, "They must come from fatherless homes." Note that this is not necessarily true. For instance, I have read interviews with OF models/Porn Stars who said they came from a home with a mother and father and had no issues with their parents. They just chose that job more for an economic opportunity and because they have liberal attitudes towards sex.
Another similarity I see is that in almost every country, there are LGBT individuals, and there are also SW individuals. What differs is how society views them. In some societies, they have more permissive attitudes, while in others, they have more judgmental attitudes. I am very interested in continuing to research and learning more about these communities.
