Things like that change all the time.

Sure you can't call people a n-word anymore, but at least now black people are allowed to wash their hands in the same wash basin and you can show interracial kisses on TV.

Sure you can't jail people for being gay anymore, but at least they are allowed to be who they are and even adopt an orphan.

Sure you can't hit your wife anymore, but at least they now have the right to vote and can start their own bank account without a mans approval.

We are currently more free than before, just not for a particular group of people.

The particular group of people that experience butt-hurt at the improvements are also exactly as free as they ever were. One of the most damaging arguments against freedom is how poorly some choose to use it.

But how am I supposed to feel good about myself if all these minorities have the same rights as me???? -- them probably.
