Greetings.
I’m not sure of all the details to Relative Morality. However, I think I have seen some unintended consequences, pertaining to Relative Morality.
Of course, the obvious consequence, is that each individual gets the freedom to choose by which standard of morals to live. I think that most of us here in CAF choose to live by Biblical moral standards.
As a young Christian man, I dabbled in Platonic relationships, but hadn’t read that much Plato. The point here, is I should have been exercising Christian relationships, not those of a pagan philosopher.
And, this brings us to the other available moral standards, from different philosophers. But, how is a person to know, upon first meeting, another person’s standards for morality? I ran across this question today, while posting on threads in Sacred Scriptures. To wit, because I did not know which standards of morality subscribed to by MSH or by Dr. P., I was suspicious of their narrative and motives. And, I think that such suspicion is justifiable in a society where relative morality is practiced.
That is to say, that the academic authorities, the media and politicians are no longer accepted as moral authorities, because of the introduction of relative morals. That’s the first unintended consequence, imho.
So, now the floor is open to other posters.

, if you’ll remember, I didn’t qualify the state of mind of those who may have accepted academics, the media and politicians as " moral authorities." 
But, seriously, I think that some people need other people to look up to. Those of us that do, need an example. I choose Jesus Christ as mine. Others choose public figures. Yet others choose also Jesus Christ and even more others choose other religions. So, all of this comes from the common human need, imho, to have a higher power to follow.
