I am probably the most socially liberal person in my family. My parents have a lot of the baggage that comes from growing up part of a minority that suffered discrimination, but an invisible minority; so you could get professional careers, move to the suburbs, and rarely see a person who wasn't white inside a ten-minute drive. There's a suspicion of others that starts in your aunts and uncles having disappeared into the death camps and ends in not having to spend too much time with the next generation of Others.
My sister is considerably more conservative on several issues than they are.
And I suspect it's not wrong either way, as long as the person themself's had the leeway to make their own decision? But I am also somewhat of a laid-back relativist about these things, and I tend not to care about what other people are thinking or doing so long as it's not hurting anyone else.
