You missed my point. I explicitly said the progress isn't theirs and I never said we were there.
My point is their (overt) goal has been forced away from "our brand of discrimination should be enshrined in law" to "please let us discriminate in our domains", a far more constrained goal. This shows that they no longer consider their former goal as achievable, due to society's progress toward acceptance of LGBTQIA rights. That is the progress I'm talking about.

It is progress, just not on their part. They were forced to move from "nobody gets same-sex marriage" to "we won't stop you, but we won't participate". That's societal progress.
