Well said, Peter. I'm so grateful we still have you amid the sea of culturally relative human rights activism.

Yeah. All those cultural relativists arguing that Nazis and white supremacists are objectively wrong. That makes a ton of sense.

Not sure how this relates? I'm saying people who oppose homophobia consistently do better than those who do so in culturally relative ways.

I don't know anyone on the left who opposes homophobia in relativist ways. I know lots of religious tolerance folks who do, tho.

Read the article. Pride is under pressure to ban ex-Muslim critics of Islam for protesting in exactly the way critics of Xtianity have done

It says they got complaints from some mosques. That doesn't strike me as complaints from relativists. Can you explain?

The East London Mosque isn't relativist, no! I was thanking Peter for not being a relativist as so many *human rights activists* are

Pride now has to decide whether or not to let ex-Muslims protest Islamic homophobia in same ex-Christians can protest Christian homophobia.

Cultural relativists are urging them not to allow this coz upsetting to a minority group. Peter is one of the ones advocating consistency.

Relativism states that morality is defined by each culture. They can't call out Christian homophobia any more than Muslim homophobia.

Not coherently, no! I say that at the end of my piece.

So stop calling them relativists and just call them hypocrites. Unless they're actively defending relativism in which case point me to them.

They are being relative whether they think so or not. When they say 'It;s OK for ppl of Xtian culture to crit relig but not ppl of Muslim'
