As time changes and society becomes more accepting of gay people, people of color, and others who don't match the "average joe" persona, the hate directed towards those people changes as well. You see, hate and intolerance have levels to themselves. As much as we would like it the other way, racism and homophobia aren’t as simple as "some are and some aren't."

It may seem like a given that most people pretty much know what is going on with them, but that just is not true.
