From what I've understand, the change towards acceptance of homosexuality has happened very quickly from a historical point of view. It wasn't that many decades ago that a supposedly liberal Swedish newspaper called AIDS "the gay cancer" and the communists denounced homosexuality as one of the depravities of the class society. This was still slightly after homosexuality had stopped being classified as a disease by the Swedish government (decriminalization happen IIRC in 1944).

So how did this change happen? Which groups were responsible for it?
