I don't think so because of three big reasons.
- a lot of people still think that homosexuality is a choice.
- People can and still excuse their homophobia as "religious beliefs".
- We have LAWS in place that actively discriminate against gays.
Unfortunately the LGBT community is one of the few remaining minority groups that its culturally acceptable to discriminate against.
