Over the last 20 or so years a lot has changed. Technology has come from the Apple II to the iPod. We've elected a black president. Nowadays most people are a lot more accepting than they were 20 years ago
Now many states accept and have legalized LGBT marriage. From the days of Harvey Milk and even earlier even being openly gay was a horrible thing. Even being suspected of being gay was horrible in the eyes of people. Now seeing two guys or two girls holding hands or kissing isn't out of the ordinary anymore. While the equality has gotten a lot better, the hate of the LGBT group is still ever present. Shown a lot in the media members of the LGBT community are frequently bashed verbally but also physically.
I personally am glad to see the acceptance of the LGBT community and the legalization of marriage. Hopefully in the future people are more accepting of the members of LGBT community but unfortunately there will always be people who want to cling to the old ways.
