Like right from our childhood we are taught that a prostitute is a bad word and so is the person going for it. Same with the gay concept. Drug is not acceptable in the middle class families as it is taught and conveyed by the society to be a crime. Even the media point of view abt the drugs is only one sided. Smoking is permitted and acceptable now a days but it wasn't around 20 to 25 year back (when i was small). Smoking and drinking were called bad habbits. It was always considered that a guy who smokes or drink is "vaayaa gelela mulga" (in marathi) which means incurable, total waste. But today its quite normal to smoke and drink. Not a big deal. Attitude has changed. I think everything will move in its own pace. It take time to realize, learn and change...... MAY BE.......
