Technology and how most everything has changed, and not necessarily for the better.
Why we're sitting next to each other in this restaurant and nobody seems to find it awkward.

Yup, the end to segregation would likely be a bigger shock
Yes, there were plenty of gay Hollywood/celebrity stars musicians before it become commonplace.

Being gay and being OPENLY gay, flaunting it on every Talk SHow are 2 very different scenarios.
The fact that all cars have seatbelts!
When Robert Kearns popped open a champagne bottle on his wedding night in August 1953, he couldn't have seen that it might one day make him rich. At first he couldn't see much of anything; the cork hit him in the face, virtually blinding him in his right eye. But the accident got the homegrown inventor to thinking-about his eyes, the way they blink and, improbably, about how difficult it is to drive in a drizzling rain.
Kearns's musings led to a basement invention, a windshield wiper that automatically blinks on and off in light rain. The device became a standard feature and is now installed worldwide on an estimated 20 million cars annually. But Kearns never profited from the idea. Instead he found himself locked in a bitter patent battle with the Ford Motor Company that would endure for more than 12 years.
In July, 1990 a U.S. district court jury in Detroit finally awarded him $5.1 million for patent infringement and lost royalties. A Ford spokesperson said the company was "pleased" with the verdict. Kearns, however, was not.
actually, being openly gay and flaunting one's sexuality (either straight or gay) are two different scenarios. Choosing not to hide one's sexuality does not immediately equal flaunting of ones sexuality.
