Answer 1

the vietnam war had a colossal change in our psyche.  peace / war were the order of the day.  cold war intensifies the whole paranoia abt our lives.   black and white also riled both sides.  hollywood introduced violence, s*x, dirt, etc.    fashion world changed.  homo has always been there but now its top of the news/actions  everything.  suddenly its so important.  thanks to the media / hollywod and freedom of speech and action.  so we r where we r now.  everything which is not right, is right now! and right now!
