I used the most prominent examples, but if you want more recent examples that were brought about by public pressure, you can cite job discrimination on the basis of orientation, which has been banned nationwide since 2020, or the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (2012). But also, your response, citing the time frame, is a logical fallacy as it doesn't speak to the efficacy of public sentiment and public pressure.
