so social liberalism is pro gay,polygamy, polyandry,adult incest marriage and abortion anything else ?

To me it means that what consenting adults do with their own lifestyle choices on their own time is their own business. IMO, conservatives make a mistake by harping on sexual choices and supporting the "war on drugs", etc.

Turns off many libertarians and independents who are otherwise natural allies against statist big government liberal policies..

Yes. Plus we want five year olds to be able to buy crack at the 7-11.

This is "argument by exaggeration." You assume that if we don't have laws against it, people will run wild.

We presently have laws against everything you list. How is that working out?

Social Liberalism isn't pro any of those things. It is more of an attitude of "it's none of my business".

I would add drugs into the same category. If someone wants to kill or otherwise harm themselves with drugs, it isn't mine or the government's responsibility to stop them.
