The problem with this is that people disagree about what harms others. Right wing insane people are not living in the same reality that you and I are. They genuinely believe that even seeing a gay person is harmful. They genuinely believe that the existence of gay people is harmful to others.

Well no, there are objective harms and subjective harms.

If I slap you that's an objective harm.

If I'm gay and that's objectional to you, that's a subjective harm to some people.

Essentially physical acts v emotional harms.

Some people may see all morales as God given and therefore absolute

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Perhaps absolute but still not objective. I can prove things that are objective with repetition, subjective things not so much.
