There’s no conflict here. Laws don’t usually change until after the culture shift. They often lag the culture by years or decades.

All too frequently laws in the US are completely out of step with the culture. For instance despite broad support for many reforms (abortion rights, term limits in Congress, marijuana legalization) nothing happens just because the culture has evolved.
