Some clarification on the golden rule
There is a basic structure to morality that all the societies share, a fundamental morality. The moralities do differ on an extraneous level, but the core is the same. For example, the golden rule.
​
If you don't mind clarifying this point a bit I have some questions:
​
Based on your standard of morality if I like anal sex then if I have anal sex with my partner and that would be a "moral" act? Even if they don't like it? Even if we are both men?

Re: Some clarification on the golden rule
I don't see what my opinion of homosexuality has to do with this thread.
​
I thought the point was that there was an objective standard and our opinions on the subject didn't matter.
​
...that coexist with the fundamental, underlying morality that I believe humans share.
​
I was just trying to get at the details of this "underlying morality". I thought my example fell into the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" category. Apparently that standard doesn't apply to all action and hence does not qualify as an underlying morality.
