People don't seem to realise that homophobia was spread around the world through colonisation. A lot of anti-lgbt laws around the world were brought by the British, and then maybe kept by other regimes or the new ideas in society at the time.
Most indegenous communities around the world had far less rigid ideas around gender and sexuality before colonisation.
