Cultural (moral) relativity doesn't work whatever ethical principles you have. It only works if you don't have any or that is it.
You're saying different cultures think different things are wrong and right? Yes or no need to talk abt cultural relativity

No, that's not what I'm talking about. Apparently I keep failing to explain myself.

Yes, sorry, I don't understand. Can you give an example of when killing LGBTs wld be morally right by liberal principles?
-
It would have to be in a society where LGBT people exist, are dominant, and are endangering the lives of non-LGBT people.
-
But that would hold true in whatever culture that happened. The morality would be consistent.

Not talking situational ethics - it's wrong to kill someone for their car but not to stop them killing you - but cultural values.
-
Cultural values cld be 'women shouldn't go out.' Can condemn this. Situational ones cld be 'women under house arrest shldnt go out'

Ok, so… to translate that into my 'context' world: you're saying there are nested contexts. A hierarchy of contexts. Yes?
-
I'm fairly sure that's not what I'm saying coz I don't know what it means.
