The parties have changed a lot over the years. You can't look back at something that happened half a century ago and make sense of it within today's political framework. Many of the people whose morals lead them to vote for the Democrats today would be voting for the Republicans half a century ago. You're hearkening back to before the entire southern strategy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy

This one isn't over, unfortunately. Many Republican elected officials are still very hostile to LGBT rights, including continued pushes to discriminate against transgender people. Sexual orientation and gender identity are NOT protected classes in most states, and many Republicans are calling to protect discrimination against LGBT individuals under the guise of freedom of religion.

The gay people I know are very afraid of what today's Republicans are doing. It's simply not true that it's over.
