The people you described as "today men" existed back then, too. We just didn't hear about it, because it was acceptable and the status quo.

It was much more normal and acceptable to be homophobic back then. You hear about it more nowadays, because times have changed and homophobia is actually being seen for the disgusting trait that it is. The majority of people actually call it out nowadays, but they didn't back then.
