"We" threw the baby out with the bath-water, and now that the PC's have had their timeout, maybe we can still put things back together.
A good start would be to just eliminate any questions about rights for different groups of people right off the bat, going ahead with full support, equal treatment and respecting dignity of everyone from LGBTQ to religious folks to aliens. This shouldn't even be debatable and frankly we are at the point in society where anything less just looks silly, antiquated and hypocritical. Governments should trust people to make the right decisions for themselves, including around abortion, cannabis use, and anything else. Trying to meticulously manage these is overreach, no matter which party does it.
