Either way it is the same evil and ignorance that drives both.
I think it has more to do with the societal effects of the civil rights movement. Overt displays of discrimination, regardless of the basis, simply aren't generally tolerated in public anymore.
That depends on where you live. Where you and I live maybe, but there are many places where you will still be beaten for being gay. Hell some places they will lynch if your gay.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
