family values
This page is about the doublespeak term family values
Meaning
religious beliefs that cause prejudice against gay people, single mothers, unmarried couples, divorced people, etc.
For example
- If family values aren't protected, our children will have sex before they're married!
- I told them I was gay, and my father kicked me out because I didn't respect his "family values".
Politicians often say they support "family values" in order to get conservative, old-fashioned or religious people to vote for them.
