Those who do not remember the past

2012-02-16 16:22:12.112089+00 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A few historical things have struck me hard recently:

  • Remember when Madonna's photo book "Sex" was a big deal?
  • Remember when Ellen coming out was a big deal, and now Ellen and J.C. Penney laying the smackdown on a small fringe group that calls itself "Million Moms" is something we're aware of only because we run in "those circles"?

In that vein, I wanted to make note of an Ask MeFi question looking for "Anthologies about Abortion and Homosexuality?" in order to better get a handle on historical context, because it's important to remember how far we've come.

Lest we back-slide.
