I never thought casual homophobia, some of which I regrettably gleefully took part it in, would stop so quickly when I was a late-teen in 2000 - granted a lot of people did a lot of work to make it stop being acceptable and I'm sure for many it didn't feel 'quick' but as far as societal attitudes, at least in major cities, it seemed fast. My favorite, albeit dumb, illustration of this is the remake of 21 jump street with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, they're mid-20s posing as high schoolers and to try to fit in, one calls the other gay, expecting to be an easy way to get in with the cool kids, but rather than join in the insulting, they congratulate the target of the slur for being true to themselves. You never would have seen that in a movie from ten years prior.
