Social Liberalism* is entirely different from Social Libertarianism. Social Libertarianism wants freedom, whether bad or good, they want it. Social Liberalism doesn't want that. Social Liberalism wants Social Justice. In fact, Any form of modern Liberalism is mostly 'Justice' based. They don't want the freedom to discriminate or to run your business a certain way like Libertarians do, they want 'justice'. Justice to blacks, justice to gays, justice to women, justice for workers, justice for anything that it deems to be oppressed.

It like back in the 1960s, Barry Goldwater didn't want discrimination, he just didn't want the government to force people to not discriminate. Most of the Southern Segregationists and Conservatives liked this and started to swing to Goldwater. As time went on they started to push their views on the Conservative movement and it started to morph from a proto-Libertarian movement to what it is today.
