Why?
Because it’s dumb. Judging people in the past on the morals of today is just stupid. Literally nobody was pro gay in the 1700s. Lincoln, the guy who freed the slaves, was a fucking racist who wanted to ship all the blacks to Africa.
Judging anyone in the past by today’s standards is a really stupid thing to do

I have heard some argue that because George Washington was a slave owner, racist, and a homophobe that he shouldn't be glorified and that the state of Washington should be renamed. This is especially true since Washington is a heavily liberal state.
I am undecided on this, but I can definitely understand the arguments for not glorifying George Washington anymore. What do you think?

Not only no but hell no. You do know that he was the one that helped win the American Revolution. The only way that you can successfully rename a state is though Congress.

Just going to cost a crazy amount to fix every name.
In fact, even if it was absolutely free, it’s still ridiculous. What’s that? One of the main people responsible for the birth of a functioning, liberal democracy in an age of imperialism and repression did something culturally-acceptable then but it isn’t now?
In 250 years, it might not be acceptable to wear any clothes that aren’t the color of your skin, for infringement on other races, or whatever. But if one of us invents teleportation, should we remove their name from things?
