That's a rose-colored reimaging of the past, including for your own example. I imagine most problems you'd point to were solved via criticism, protests, violence, and more. To look at your example in a US-centric light, being homosexual was literally lethal for some and cost thousands others their jobs. LGBTQ+ people are still losing their jobs for being homosexual. People are still saying things about the LGBTQ+ community that are statistically and provably untrue. I personally don't understand why we would hold those perpetuating such things above criticism or force association.
