For liberals, morality derives mostly from fairness and prevention of harm. For conservatives, morality also involves upholding authority and loyalty — and revulsion at disgust.

Haidt has written elsewhere that the "mostly" means only. They give no weight at all to tradition (like the traditional def. of marriage). Ditto for disgust. Thats why its easy to predict that after gay marriage, incest will be a future liberal cause. What reason is there to condemn incest between close relatives (brother/sister, brother/brother, father/daughter) other than that it violates traditional morality and disgusts most people? Tradition and disgust should have nothing to do with morality, right?
