The same people that will worship at the altar of “ multi-culti, who are we to judge other cultures, diversity is our strength” are the same people who will condemn baptism, chastity before marriage, and natural family planning as “backward”, “old-fashioned”, and “patriarchal”.

I wonder what country that is?
