A comment on Google backs gay marriage. Parent comment

I'd buy that if all the people opposed weren't being downmodded into the ground.

To have a position from which dissent is not tolerated is the definition of PC. Hence the "correct" part of PC.

I'll agree it's PC on Hacker News because apparently we have a large number of readers who don't like prop 8. As to the downmodding, there are other reasons that your comment could have been downmodded.

Once you escape the bubble that is Hacker News you find an extremely large population of religious people that are for prop 8.

So you have large populations for and against. Thus, either position is strongly supported and opposed, there is no correct position that will not be assaulted. Google didn't post on Hacker News, they posted on a public blog.
