What do you mean by backward moralism?

I mean that it does nothing whatsoever constructive to take society forward, but rather fixates backward on an illusory, idealized, nonexistent past which few have a desire to see revived in its actual reality. In that instance it was primarily a thoughtless expression of antigay vilification to no other purpose.

Feel free to ask about any other words you need me to define..

I will be happy to address your other points (some of them are good points for discussion - when shifting out the sensationalist extremism) but I don't have the time right now.

I am always up for a rational discussion, even if points of agreement are few. I don't appreciate snide comments, as though I needed an explanation of the meaning of the word "backwards".

P.S. I am neither a social Darwinist nor a religious fanatic.
