even then you will get comments like "they didn't have the same understanding about orientation or gender identity".

I mean, it IS true. If you asked someone from 1910 if they were queer, they wouldn't understand you either, you'd have to launch into a very long explanation to cover the cultural baggage in that term, and how it doesn't just mean "homosexual".

And then, even if they just finished enjoying male-male intercourse with their ~~partner~~ live-in friend, they would vehemently deny any such thing and be heavily offended.
