Controlling reality to fit individual views would be nice, but it just causes things to get worse, so instead I'm just getting the heck out of here.
In Europe, prior to Christianity, the Roman empire was in charge, and they were not exactly open to allowing the traits of the minorities to flourish. Plus they taxed the hell out of the regular class, further entrenching Europe into a 2 class mentality that we still suffer from today.
People defend gay marriage b/c their religion tells them to do so. The Muslim religion was very tolerate of homosexuality during the ottoman era, only recently have they've flipped their ideals. Even within Christianity, you see the Pope trying to lessen stranglehold the faith has to this particular ideal, but it's not easy.
I don't know where on earth you will be able to avoid the powerful controlling things to fit their ideals. I guess you could find a country that currently better fits your views, but all a country needs to flip the script is have one mad hatter show up to run the show for a bit. It's almost like the way France handled the shooting disaster. They unified under the premise of free speech, but then almost instantly squashed any speech that was against this, thus showing their true colors; That being whatever we do is correct, and you cannot go against the ruling parties ideals. Looks like a wolf in sheep's skin if you ask me.
