Over the last 20 years there has been a major shift in acceptance. MANY minds have been changed.
We have had the first Muslims elected to the US Congress. We have had multiple members of the LBGT community elected to important positions all across the country. Twenty years ago a large majority of this country opposed equal protection under the law for homosexuals, but now 63% of Americans favor same sex marriage. And these are not just people "pretending" to change to avoid being criticized. Voting booths and national polls are anonymous.
LOTS of minds are being changed. And a lot of it has to do with people being made aware that it is not acceptable to discriminate. The more people speak out about it publicly the more people will be aware that not everyone believes like their close friends and family who were the major influence on their beliefs.
