Randomly viewing some slightly off-the-norm behavior as beyond reproach and other as devil's spawn with no grey area in between is not "socially liberal". It's paleofascist.

It's just that such a position shows up as closer to social liberalism on a "political compass" compared to hardcore conservatism.

Ah; I was not meaning to say that the attitude I was describing is exclusive to fascism, just that it is a perfectly traditional part of the mindset - it was in reply to the "no, they're trending more socially liberal actually" replies above mine.
