Moral relativity is a philosophy that states there is no absolute Right or Wrong, but not that anyone can freely use his own conscience to decide what is moral. Rather, it just says that morality cannot exist without society. Much has been written to debunk this theory and bastardize the concept by attributing it to the core of liberalist beliefs, but moral relativism by its very nature cannot serve to legitimize common liberal causes such as gay rights and abortion. A moral theory such as relativism has no legal nor political agenda. Relativism is among the most misunderstood concepts in modern culture- it is merely an ethical theory, not a political statement.

A final note: Many pages on this website link to this page in a misguided attempt to draw a link between relativism and other things, such as Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity and Gay Rights. The Conservapedia community kindly asks the reader to refer to the paragraph above in order to educate themselves about the true meaning of relativism.
