What a time it was to be alive before the Culture War (tm) in San Francisco.
I worked at a household name tech company and you could draw a pie chart of Libertarian, (Self described) Communist, Progressive, Anarchists, and everything in between. Drugs weren't really controversial but you had an entire spectrum of personalities and drugs that were popular in different groups. Everyone kind of accepted each other to be honest.
There was pretty much no point in time in American history where people just accepted each other.
This kind of stuff is very easy to say when you might be a person who is easy to accept. In general, Life is pretty smooth sailing if you don't trot too much off the beaten path - and that, unfortunately, includes immutable characteristics.
Generally, if you ask other people about the same time frame, you will get different answers.
