The only people who do that are hyperconservatives who like to pretend that "liberal" is some sort of dirty word, when in fact it is the exact OPPOSITE that is true. The REAL dirty word is "conservative" when applied to social issues (but not to fiscal ones).
Social liberals, also known as progressives, are the strongest DEFENDERS, across the board, of all of the individual freedoms and personal liberties that we enjoy, and need to preserve in a free America. They oppose censorship, are steadfast defenders of the right of girls and women NOT to be FORCED to gestate UNwanted pregnancies to term (which would be a 9-month-long form of rape), and of EQUAL workplace, housing, and marital rights for gays.
Fascinatingly, the "conservatives" -- who usually are doltish RRR cultists -- have NO FACTS in their debating arsenal that they could bring to bear. It's all emotionalism, scare tactics, propaganda,and empty rhetoric with them. But then, that's always been bigotry's downfall.
