We live in a big country. Not everything moves at the pace we want or think appropriate.
On the other hand, a large percentage of people who are living below the poverty line have a flat screen TV.
So, it's all a matter of perspective.

There are actually anti-miscegenation laws still on the books in some places, though not enforced. I believe a man was arrested in Texas a few years ago for living with his girlfriend. His bitter ex-wife blew the whistle on him, because there was a law on the books that forbid "living in sin." He was actually picked up for it, though I'm not sure what the resolution was.
