        Extremely better. People forget about the reagan admin intentionally ignored the AIDS crisis. People forget about gay panic laws. It's still terrible but not nearly as bad as it once was.

          More recently, people seem to have forgotten that nationally legal gay marriage seemed inconceivable in 2003, to the point that many gay activists were arguing for civil unions because it seemed like an easier goal to achieve,
