I'm Albert Moller, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a

One of the big intellectual questions of our time, as we seek to understand the world

into outrage against those who won't join the moral revolution.

which is what is often by the left called homophobia.

And so you're looking at the fact that moral change requires an explanation.

How exactly does a society get from A to B to C?
