zilians are illiterate about zilian story and tend to look at different periods of Brazil by eras where everything was consistently the same.
The military regime, which lasted do 21 years, had for a short period of 9 years a strict set of laws based on "the preservation of morals and traditional customs" passed in 1970 which, among other things, banned public displays of homosexuality in public and in media, however those laws were only in effect through an specific period of the dictatorship by the personal demands of one specific dictator (we had 5 for this particular regime) which were later overruled by a series of reforms starting in 1979. It's not by coincidence trannies an gays start being proeminent in media after 79, with the dictatorship still rulling the country but no longer laws banning public displays of homosexuality.
