I didn't realize how conservative I was until I met my girlfriend who's from Ontario, especially in regards to social issues (was never against gay marriage, but also had the "as long as I don't see it" attitude, which also included PDA's from straight folks too). I'm happy to say I've shaken that and applaud when I see two people kissing, it's a sign of love in a world that is still full of hate, intolerance, and violence. No need to be stuck in the past about these things, and especially in the old-timer crap of our parent and grandparent generations.
I can't say the same about religion though, as I get older I get more and more sick and tired of their crap.
