Back when traditional marriage was strong, it was acceptable for people to own people, for young children to be forced to work in sweatshops, and for people to be persecuted, imprisoned, or even killed because of homosexual activity.

If that's what qualifies as society's "moral backbone" then I am extremely grateful to have destroyed it.

I was being sardonic about the "moral backbone," if you failed to pick that up.

I noticed eventually, but I figured my message served just as well to reinforce yours as it did to argue against what you weren't actually trying to say.
