I think that just about everybody, no matter what side of the political spectrum, owes one massive apology to the hard-line social conservatives of the early American film industry. They were the last line of defense between art, thereby society at large, and complete degradation. Had they succeeded in censoring American film, we would have no

Moving to the left wing now, you have your more center-left feminists. They are obviously not pro-pedophilia, have enabled such things in society via assisting the Free Love movements of the 60s and 70s. Then, of course, you get to your John Money, Harvey Milk types.
