She’s right for the most part, of course. We – some sections of the media, politicians and some public figures – have needlessly fixated on fanning the flames of moral panic over divisive issues. Or issues that, thanks to that exploitation, have been framed as divisive when, in reality, they’re simply reflections of the fact that we do not live in a homogenous, socially static society.
