"You've come along way baby" some might remember the slogan for cigarettes ...

I just stated watching Shirley on Netflix and thought ...The women and all the marginalized people have come a long way since the 60's.
I know this was ad slogan to entice women to smoke a particular brand of cigarette, but the people are winning... bit by bit. Back in the 60's I had an uncle and "his friend" which were accepted in our family, with some whispers I later learned, nothing was out front back then.
In so many ways and on so many fronts we have come a long way. It might be women's rights, racial equality, religious equality, sexual equality, we have made progress. It is good to remind ourselves and those around us that progress is being made. It might be a slow pace and we should thank those who pushed the limits.
