That was a small part of what I meant. They're coming to it late. Progressives have been at it a long time. It's all part of the promise of "the total transformation of America." The old web of the American "fabric," as you like to say, is all in tatters and tangles, including not only its form of government, its market economy, its philosophical and moral foundation, but even the sexual identity of its people. All has been progressively transformed, and, in response, Texas has joined with an in-your-face transformation of its own. But, somehow, as scottw suggests, it just ain't as good to progressives as their preferred form of transformation. It's not so much a change to satisfy the progressive hope for sexual deconstruction, but a reconstruction back to an integrated physical and psychological integrity. That "old-fashioned, outdated" kind of stuff.
