without being all oh, we're totally-modernly-woke-regarding-LGBT-stuff-and-yet-curiously-nothing-else.

NAYRT - This is another thing about "Historical" AUs without homophobia that's never worked for me. It just doesn't make sense that a world which was fine with homosexuality would still be just as sexist and racist as ever. Societal prejudices tend to be connected, in a myriad of complex and ever-shifting ways. IMO, you can't make society totally chill with one type of societal prejudice and have all the others stay exactly the same, and have it make any sense from a sociological standpoint.

Or, well, you can absolutely do it, but as you say, it's not really a "historical AU" so much as it's a "fantasy period AU." And even in a Fantasy Period AU I feel like "Women can fuck women, but they're still just the fancy property of men" would be too nonsensical to work for me. Probably better to get rid of most period-typical sexism and a substantial degree of the racism at the same time so the internal "logic" (using that term very loosely) of societal prejudice remains cohesive.
