Yes, I've read many fics where everyone in the story is completely accepting and supportive (except whoever it is in the story we're supposed to boo and hiss at--Sirius's parents, Snape, etc.) and I think those are definitely cases of a writer trying to create a world where attitudes are as they wish them to be.
But I've read many stories (and now that I think about, they were probably on ff.net) which give me the impression that the writer really doesn't realize what attitudes or perceptions would have been in the 70's. Ah, youth. I'm glad they don't know any better--unless they are writing about it.
