It seems to be boomers who fight the most over social issues. With the others, they may not necessary agree with something but believe that you should have the right to do something.
This is both true and not surprising. Boomers came of age during the social upheavals of the 60s and 70s. Racism, sexism, and the beginnings of the social opening all started in earnest during that period. So did drugs and just being free.
Of course the fight continues.
