“Once a view is popular with the general public, or just within your own ‘tribe,’ it takes a lot of courage even to question it to yourself,” says Blackford. For example, just 50 years ago, homosexuality was banned in many western countries. “It would have been a very brave person to put their hand up and say, ‘There’s nothing wrong with being gay.’”
And there you have it. The absolutes slither and shift. One generation's unquestioned truth is another's indisputable anathema. Today, it would take a very brave person to put his or her hand up and say, "There's something wrong with being gay".
