I'm pretty sure this song is about a guy coming out as homosexual, which rocks his small, conservative town. As even positive change can bring along with it violence and controversy, people unwilling to amend their beliefs are left in the dust; hence, why Miss Progress is a killer.
I'm not sure what Geraldine's role is exactly, but I see Abeline as a figure the narrator pretended to love to belie his homosexuality, perhaps even to himself.
Interesting interpretation! I was wondering if maybe "Miss Progress" was a cross-dresser.

Or perhaps "Miss Progress" is just a liberal woman in a conservative town, making her a target for "homophobic gentlemen" (oxymoron? ha) because she isn't homophobic like others in such a conservative town. He falls in love with her, and this is a bit rebellious, because she is not the traditional girl-next-door in town - she's a progressive woman in a black dress.
