"Pre-Modern"

Yeah, we are not as far past this as you might think - much of the anti-lgbt moral panic included allusions that natural disasters of all sorts were because we were becoming to "morally deficient" by treating the LGBTQ community as people.

It has been quieter in the last decade or so, but the 2000s were bursting with that attitude.
