> and queer people Got a source for this?

persecution of non-straight people is not new. are you wanting a source for linking queer and witchcraft specifically as one, as I'm not sure that's what the GP was intended even if the wording leans that way.

IMHO queer there meant non-conforming (“weird”), which would make sense: eccentric-looking people would draw the label of witchcraft.

It's hard to see what else might have been intended, since this phrase seems to be linked to the "anti-witchcraft propaganda" phrase, with nothing else dangling there to apply it to.

This was the first time I'd seen queer people associated with witch-hunts, witch burning etc. so was wondering what the source for this was.
