We are devolving. If libraries were proposed, I bet republicans were to strike that down in no time.

There are already towns actively voting to defund their libraries for having LGBTQ books.

Libraries would never have passed these days. If only because copyright firms would crack down on it hard.

The idea that society is progressing is a liberal lie designed to trap people within their systems. Culturally speaking, we're careening backwards. But gay marriage is now legal (it's been legal everywhere else since forever) and trans people are starting to be considered the gender they identify as (compared to actually civilized cultures which have done so since forever) so you look like a regressive if you call this out.

While i agree that for many points the US is going backwards, most countries havent been open to homosexuality or transsexuality until fairly recently, mostly staying behind the US.

Hell, that there was a right to abortion in the US since the 70s was a great step ahed compared to most western countries (eastern block countries already allowed abortions at that time). Here in Germany our abortion laws are still from the Nazi era and designed around all women birthing many children to feed into Hitlers army. They just put an exemption that abortion can be without punishment, but it is still a crime, within the first 12 weeks. Doctors who would talk about the fact that they do provide abortions were charged for illegal "advertisment" of abortion.

I said it once and I'll say it a zillion times: China consequences for corporations who misbehave. Fees are just a business expense to them.
