I'm a strong critic of the far-left but I can't support regarding its discriminations as more 'far' than clearly comparable right wing ones.

Opposition to LGBT equality & reproductive freedom seems pretty extreme to me even tho they are not really fringe conservative positions.

So if you want to complain (rightly) about threats to freedom of speech & positive discrimination as extreme positions on the left...
