J.L. Mackie, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong (1977). Read chapter 1, "The Subjectivity of Values," especially sections 1–2 for the scope of skepticism, 5–7 for claims to objectivity and error theory, and 8–10 for relativity, queerness, and objectification. An accessible chapter extract contains these arguments.
