Economists from Bastiat to Caplan have bemoaned the public's ignorance of economic matters. Is there any reason we should expect them to have good information on social matters? As one who doesn't believe there is any sort of objectively correct moral position on anything, that may be irrelevant, but the manner in which this post was written indicates that people should have better beliefs with better info.
