>> what should be the rights of those who do not agree that a woman's main responsibility is to bear children? Or that homosexuality is wicked? Or that leveling the playing field is discrimination? <<

that is too broad a question.

>> as long as you do not thrust your idea of morality onto others. THAT is the point. <<

that is a ridiculous point. anyone with a political agenda seeks to impose their version of morality. it is accepted in our country that society has a right to impose its version of morality. you telling me i don't have a right to impose morality is actually an example of you wishing to impose your idea of morality on me. so you see, it is disingenuous for people to say that you can't legislate morality or somehow it's not right for society to impose morality on others. our society has decided that murder is unlawful, so society locks up andrea yates. right there society made a moral judgement regarding her behavior. society "thrust their ideas of morality" on her by locking her up.

>> So, social progress is defined as moving from a narrow point of view where a few people's ideas of morality and justice gives way to a diverse view that is more representative of the population <<

nowhere in your definition do i see any qualifications regarding right or wrong. i suppose in nazi germany at first a few people had ideas of exterminating jews and others, and eventually that gave way to a more diverse view which was more representative of the population. so i guess according to your definition the growing acceptance of the nazi agenda is social progress.
