I'm particularly impressed with the sexual revolution of the past 10 years. Most of this is due to new technologies, but some of it is based on past activism.
I'm still flabbergasted at how open and frank the younger generation is about sexuality.
I'm encouraged by the fact that despite 25+ years of the religious right dominating politics, that people rarely get prosecuted for obscenity and sexual materials are widely available.
