To hell with moderation. Social conservatives are outright wrong on every social issue. Why would I dilute liberalism with wrongness?
Yeah, I'm on the left. Over here we believe that people should butt the fuck out of things that aren't any of their business, and the government shouldn't be in the business of handing out the benefits to some people unless they're going to go to everyone.
But apparently my agenda threatens the Moral Minority, who feels they have a god-given right to make sure that two men don't hold hands where a kid might see.

Well, to try to answer your question: maybe they only hate gays a little bit?
I dunno. I just don't know what the moderate position between American principles of self-destiny and freedom versus rigid theocratic moralism would be.
