Dec 31st 1949.
I'm a queer woman, so these sort of time travel questions boil down to preserving as many rights as I can.
as a queer brown man; i don't want to be anywhere at all.
why 1949 and where?
You would have been just fine in, say, North or East Africa a few hundred years ago.
I think they picked 49 because it's as modern as they could get within OP's parameters.
Would fit in with the ancient Greeks
Maybe back to like ancient Greece or something?
Where, the U.S.? Seems like there's gotta be other times and places that were more woman- and queer-friendly, right?
You'd think places like San Francisco would be better, but 20 years later the Stone Wall riots happened. It was pretty rough all around to be gay in that time, though I'm sure some places were worse than others.
fwiw: gay nightlife in san francisco was at its zenith in the 50's & 60's .
the san francisco we have today is a tiny dim more conservative ember of what it was back then.
I think you would've been fine in the Roman empire during the Pax Romana.
Rome would kinda suck for a woman, especially a queer one.
What is the significance of that date?
Its as close as possible to now before the 50s
Fair enough, though at that point you'd probably get better results if you went further back. The 50s were...really bad.
To be entirely fair I'd probably just โก ๐ง๐ฟโ๐ฆฑ โก myself either way. Not willing to try and survive without my meds.
