the problem is that people are called centrists because their major opinion is simply "the status quo is fine", which is effectively just being a conservative but without the active outspoken racism.

The centre party here in sweden meanwhile actively promotes LGBT rights and obvious things like that, they actually have opinions on both sides of the spectrum and a vision for the future, and that vision is one that you might not consider optimal but it's not obviously fucking evil.

But then they're not centrist. If these people are conservative minus active racism, then they're just "RIGHT WING lite."

Why destroy the whole concept of centrism that way?

This issue doesn't stem from the left, it stems from many self-proclaimed centrists actually espousing right wing ideology to the point it has become almost a dogwhistle.

dunno, but they always do it. ask any woman who dates men and has been single in the past five years.

Don't you love how American commenters can't see things like LGBT rights as obvious

Gay rights are human rights. No sane person cares what adults do in private. No sane person cares about who other people hold hands with and kiss
