There are two kinds of groups that push changes to society based on morality. Those who want to provide more freedom and rights to people who are at an unfair disadvantage under the system and those who want to impose restrictions and penalties on people who do things they don't like. The latter groups are almost never sincere. The actions they oppose are just an excuse for making people they don't like suffer. As a result, they are often caught do the exact things they say they oppose, because they don't really care about the actions themselves.

Oh my, I just assumed it was the same lady that was having (and filming) threesomes while taking away rights from LGBT kids. Different lady! What else are Moms for Lib up to?

I think that just indicates that they really do believe in diversity. They're finding all kinds of different ways to violate what they claim are their principles.

Moms for Liberty isn't a real grassroots organization anyways, which might explain all the scandals from it's hypocritical members. They're being funded by the Heritage Foundation and others to push an anti-LGBTQ agenda. They had early success when no one was paying attention to them, but they largely got wrecked in the last elections and this year they'll do even worse. After that the funding will dry up and they'll be completely forgotten, but in a few years another group with a similar name will pop up being funded by the same ghouls.

Making exactly the same arguments, caricatures, and epithets.

It's more like the "my abortion is the only moral abortion" argument. They convince themselves that it's the people and not the action that are the bad thing, so if they, a good person, does it, it's not really wrong. But if the bad people do it, then it's bad.
