Morality is Subjective

🇺🇸 We have members of the US Congress claiming that anyone that pursues their happiness as they define it is immoral, even though the founding fathers created this country for that purpose, and those words come directly from the Declaration of Independence. They claim if you're not an evangelical prude, you're immoral. A woman is immoral if she designs lingerie or produces lingerie or hosts fun dinner parties or has intimate, consensual relationships with other women. So in that case even Taylor Swift fans are immoral, because Swift wears lingerie on stage and shakes her bottom like a call girl to their delight. And all of the football fans or players that adore her or date her are also immoral apparently. But guess who is not immoral in their minds. A billionaire Republican man who owns a lingerie store and hosts lingerie fashion shows like Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner. Or a billionaire Republican man who rapes a woman in a dressing room, apparently while shopping for lingerie, like the current Republican presidential candidate. Or a man who commits war crimes, murders thousands of innocent people, and commits cyber warfare and numerous other gray-zone aggressions against the USA, like Vladimir Putin. These men are great family men, promoting conservative Christian family values, they will tell you. [eye roll]

I have no doubt that the majority of Americans' views on morality are similar to mine. We're not interested in being judged by people who clearly have no morals at all, nor do we want to hear them preaching about it.

Human rights are the guiding light in politics, not morality - morality is subjective.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
