Cultural symbols such as fashion, food, clothing, etc are much different than morality-based concepts that have an abundance of unison agreement since the beginning of time. Not to mention we are talking behaviors versus abstract objects.
Homosexuality is not a symbol nor defined symbolically. It may be more out in the open today than in the past couple hundred years, but homosexuality is homosexuality and always has been homosexuality. In fact, there were other times periods where it was even more predominant, though still sharing social stigmatism. I'm not a cultural relativists -- though I admit there is a part cultural relativism plays in defining non-essential matters.
Wearing the color for a Russian less than 100 years ago was unthinkable unless you were part of the Communist Party. The color today does not have such symbols associated with it. There is nothing intrinsically or morally wrong with the color red.
