      Yeah, society definitely advanced when it comes to acceptance of e.g. homosexuality. Though the current direction is “backwards” in most countries …

        I feel like to comes down to not what the particular rights were at the time but the direction they were going over a period like a decade. This is why I don’t like how things have gone since the 70’s. I feel progress slowed in the 80’s and went to a crawl this millenium and has not been looking good the last 20 years and is basically regressing.

          People are more accepting (or at least less willing to be a bigot in public) of a bunch of stuff today than even 20 years ago, though, at least in places that didn’t go full MAGA. The leader of my country’s biggest far right party is literally a lesbian woman!
