I was referring not to actual family values, but to “family values” as a politically useful shorthand catch phrase. Though maybe you were too, in which case I expect we’re probably working from different sets of standards.
Remember, this crowd does not really care if anyone is healthy, happy, and living within the tenets of their claimed religion; they only want the appearance that this is the case.
Looks matter more than substance.
Saying they love Jesus excuses them from trying to emulate his life.
Depriving all of our children rational education about their own bodies guarantees a never-ending supply of ignorant kids to manipulate.

Why do we need to redefine anything? All have fallen short. It doesn’t mean you cast the standard aside and opt for a more lax one.
