Being familiar with the extant polipsych literature on disgust sensitivity and political orientation, I'm profoundly curious to hear what scientific question you were seeking to answer through this poll.
If something seems 'morally disgusting' to you, is that a reliable sign that it's actually immoral?

I'm not trying to answer a scientific question. I'm seeking to provoke some self-reflection and discussion, as all my twitter polls try to do.

Scripture is the moral compass.

I have reservations about both the Quran and the Bhagavad-Gita, and they offer somewhat different advice though....

Yes, by definition. However, it is absolutely not a sign that the action should be banned by law.

Why 'by definition'? No serious moral philosophy in history has ever accepted moral disgust as a dispositive sign of actual immorality.

morality is all subjective, so if it's morally disgusting to you then it is immoral to you. If that means your society considers it immoral is a far bigger and harder question to answer.

Morality is subjective, no matter how badly you want it not to be.

Yes of course. I am the ultimate arbiter of morality.
