The guy is criticizing them. Lots of liberals are uncomfortable with SJWs. I’m looking for a steelmanning, for someone to explain why they are doing the right thing (bonus points for linking it to Christianity or UU specifically).
In case you’re still looking, I think you might find Chris Brecheen’s “Social Justice Bard” blog edifying, though he doesn’t connect social justice ideas to Christianity that I’ve seen. For that, some of the blogs on the Progressive Christian Channel at Patheos.com might help (Slacktivist is particularly social-justice-oriented), as well as some of the ones on the Atheist Channel whose authors are ex-Christians and still draw inspiration from what they see as Christianity’s good points (e.g. Love Joy Feminism, Roll to Disbelieve and An Atheist in Dixie).
On a quick glance he seems enthusiastic and voluble (smartness TBD) and I don’t really want to dig through his piles of content in the hope of finding a pearl or two.
I’m looking not for a blog, but for a piece of text, a thoughtful write-up of reasonable size. An single essay, if you wish.

Looking at this blog I’m having trouble not coming to the conclusion that he’s an idiot. Could you cite some of his posts you found particularly edifying?
