Yes. It's inevitable. Once our generation has grandchildren they'll be all about accepting some group we consider vile and disgusting and they'll be the ones calling us bigots or some **** like that.
It's just how things go. It's just a matter of what exactly and when. But it will happen.
As for pedophilia though, technically we already used to accept it as a society and I'm sure it'll eventually work it's way back around.
Although the reason for it's former acceptance is because people used to not live as log so they needed to have children at younger ages. If you lived to be 35 you were ****ing ancient, because used to people used to be lucky to make it to 30. Hell, you were lucky to make it to adulthood in some cases. So of course children having children was more common, it was just how it was. Girls married young because they had to pop out babies ASAP, more or less, because there was no telling how long they might live for so the sooner they got started the better. But of course they couldn't have kids before having their periods first.
Interestingly enough, and I'm just waiting for the day society makes this argument. Girls have been starting their periods earlier and earlier overall, and there is a mentality that girls officially become women after starting their period. Now as for boys, the argument is a boy becomes a man once he loses his virginity... and I assure you if you drill that into the heads of enough boys then they'll keep trying to lose it sooner and sooner.
I have a cousin who lost it at 12... ****ing 12! And then the **** he was with once thought she was pregnant... and they were 14! What a ****ing idiot.
So as far as pedophilia is concerned, just think about how many kids are being sexually active amongst themselves these days. They've barely even hit puberty and they're already going at it. And it'll just keep getting younger and younger and then the rationalization of just getting it out in the open so the kids can be better protected during the act will come into play and the old argument "they're gonna do it anyway, they at least should have protection" will pop right the **** back up and then our generation we'll be like "oh Hell ****ing no, my generation invented that argument! You think you got the right to use that!?". And for the record, the argument could be made kids can make a rational informed decision to choose to have sex or not. So long as it is informed, meaning you understand it, and the child wants it then why can the child not consent?
But, yeah, I'm calling it now. It'll go something like that. It won't be a radical shift, but a gradual one. It'll become gradually more and more acceptable, because that way you're desensitizing people to it, getting them used to it, then you teach people that anyone who thinks certain behavior isn't okay are just a bunch of hateful bigots and you shouldn't listen to them. Which effectively demonizes anyone opposed.
It's just tactics, doesn't matter what what the topic is. People like having a cause to fight for and over, people like thinking they're on the side of fairness and equality for all, so once one social movement is accepted another will pop up for that very reason. It doesn't matter if it makes any sense or not, people will find a way to rationalize anything. And there's always some oppressed group out there, demanding rights. And in the name of 'social justice' a fight for that will be made as well.
Even now we're already working on the desensitizing of pedophilia. There are adverts out there with children being made to look sexy after all. Right now people find it disgusting and see the desensitizing attempt that's going on, but if it's still happening when they have children of their own then their kids might start thinking "this is how it's supposed to be, this is what's acceptable for people my age" and then the kids might try to be sexy themselves. Hence how gradual it has to be. The whole point is to desensitize people around our ages, at least enough to get used to it being there, so we don't pay attention anymore. But the generations after ours are the ones who effectively get brainwashes.
That's how cultures and societies are. I'm not saying they all get together and decide which movement to fight for is next or that there's a giant checklist somewhere. It's like a domino effect, once it starts it just keeps going and it all just kinda flows together. But it's also a case of follow-the-leader. Once one place or person does/says something controversial and gets attention for it that proves that it got them attention. Which means it's shocking, jarring, attention-grabbing. That's how it really starts, but once everyone does it then it becomes common and gradually more accepted.
See how it works? It's a slow paced thing but already there are plays going on for groups to gain acceptance. It's just likely we wont see much of anything else beyond the same-sex marriage issue until after we're all ancient. Although, you've already got a few people ****ing and complaining about how we need to accept pedophilia and bestiality, mostly the latter because of a stupid consent argument. So who knows it may move faster!
By the way, the movements themselves are not necessarily related to another, it's just that society likes having something to fight about and there's always groups who want to be accepted.
Now if you excuse me I'm gonna go plot for the inevitable "public BDSM play should be allowed" acceptance movement. But that likely wont actually happen until after the "public sex should be allowed" acceptance movement... although I think that last one was attempted already.
It's hard for me to explain. Just other groups of people we generally don't tend to accept.
