Well those kind of things tend to bring me down too.

Hoewever things are  much better today than they were in the past. Just watch an episode of Mad Men. That show takes place in the '60s, and it's amazing how much the world has changed in just 50 years. I mean today people can't get away with the racism or misogyny they could back then. And I'm pretty sure that 50 years from now people won't be able to get away with the rampant homophobia that is so socially acceptable today.

Be thankfull you live in the UK and not in some third world middeleaster/african wasteland. Heck, I live in an eastern country not very far away from yours and things are significantly worse off here.

Human society has followed a progressive trend (with some exceptions) throughout history, so just try your best to be exactly the opposite of everything you think is wrong with this small-minded world we live in.

P.S.: If you're copying Spock's haircut you shouldn't be surprised if you become the victim of a hairist attack.

I would'nt say that homophobia is rampant. It's 100 times better than it used to be. Nobody really cares if a person is gay anymore. lol

Well from what I read on the news, in your country,  people can still be homophobic without any repercussions (unlike say being racist, which draws negative social consequences). Also the existence of all those ex-gay groups obviously prove that a lot of people realy care of someone is gay.

And that's just in your country. In my country "sodomy" was illegal up until 2001, and it was only decriminalised due to pressure from the EU. I also think (I'm not 100% sure) that's it's still classified as a mental disorder over here.
