Policy change vs cultural change

The sobering reality that laws can change while attitudes remain unchanged, and conversely, that cultural shifts may precede legal recognition by decades—making both necessary but neither sufficient on its own. Marriage equality laws don't automatically end homophobia; anti-discrimination statutes don't erase the reflexive discomfort that governs daily interaction.
