Сase in point is the breathtaking speed, and, I would add, needed change with regards to homosexuality and it's social acceptance. Homosexuality has gone from being strictly illegal to socially accepted in a matter of decades. While not necessarily all aspects of the gay lifestyle is universally loved — the hyper sexualization of pride parades for example — homosexuals have basically gone from pariah to boring neighbor in the blink of an eye.

Since the boldfaced part doesn't seem to be an expression — Google finds nothing, although the meaning is clear — I wonder if zero article here seems the most natural choice.
For example, would these be acceptable:
from pariahs to boring neighbors
from the pariah to the boring neighbor
Thanks.
