I wouldn't call being on the receiving end of racial slurs for dating outside your "race", being shunned for being queer, and other such things mere "disagreements". (This was me, as a teen, in the 90s). It is really easy to romanticize the past, back when you were younger and just didn't have the same grasp of the world. Especially if you had a decent enough life at the time.

That is true, but the difference between then and now is that, back then, it felt like the world was on an inexorable road to greater open-mindedness. The world has made progress since you were a teen, but there is also an atmosphere of fear that the world is starting to backslide.
