Social conservatives is a more accurate way of describing the people Helena is talking about, instead of "right" or "left" or "Democrat" vs. "Republican."

Did you read Helena's thread? She explains very eloquently why it matters.

absolutely--and it doesn't--as thoughtful as she is--distinguish the v complexity of that group which is every bit as diverse as the "trans" category -- not healthy, helpful, or able to win the world to a rejection of stereotyping that is also basis of much trans ideology

She specifically addresses the (very public) anti-gay track record of the most prominent orgs involved. This is not a secret; their websites and advocacy are overflowing with it.

it's not about religion, either. It's about specific (stated) values. "Social conservative" seems the most accurate moniker, since that could include people from any party or religion (or no religion, for that matter).
