Kaj argues that even that straw-man conservative (who wants no law protecting gays from harassment) is not susceptible to a legitimate “don’t push your moral intuitions onto us!” riposte.
It seems that you’ve knee-jerked and missed the point.
It’s not interesting or controversial to point out that there exist obnoxious nanny-statists, either. Most of us are smart enough to not lump together all conservative viewpoints (there’s always Chesterton’s Fence to consider). Conservative of what is the point, as Konkvistador said.
