If there is no way to prove or disprove something absolutely, who then can prove that a society that says certain acts are homophobic, etc, is better than a society that says certain acts aren't homophobic?

Society? Societies - relativistically speaking - are social constructs that produce social constructs.

Without absolutes - and based upon social construction -neither society would be superior to the other.

I really don’t think a societies’ being better or superior than any other, really is a factor. I think it just happens to be the way it is.
