I'd like to think there's a happy medium somewhere between the western mandatory sex changes for toddlers and african shamans chopping up gays to make magic anti-hiv potions.
My moral center is ultimately provided by Christianity. However poor I may be at it at times. There isn't really any superior source of morality for me. If you've found your moral center, then you'll know what ideas are extreme.
If you say you start your morality with the harm principle, which is also the Golden Rule in a way, we can come to some shared conclusions. Not everyone need come to right the same way, and in fact if all seek the right way successfully we should converge on good ideas.
There is, just like there's a happy positive number set somewhere between -10000 and 5. The proper and fair position exists between two "extremes", but remember, even extremes are on a spectrum, and what is proper and fair isn't necessarily 50% between the two.

Oh hey, it's the right wing version of this old canard https://i.imgur.com/aEFpoVH.jpg
