“There are certain actions that are just outright immoral.”

I agree, but there are plenty of things that are immoral that are also legal. Something being immoral doesn’t necessitate it being impossible to legalize, that is determined by legal processes which are defined by our national and state constitutions. If you have a problem with those processes, why don’t you come out and say it instead of using moral outrage to hide your disgust with our system of doing things?

“It also doesn’t matter that the headline was a misrepresentation of the Speaker’s position.”

It might not matter to you, but to those of us who remember that integrity and honesty are more important than pushing their favorite candidate, it certainly does.

I understand what you mean. Perhaps my point wasn't clear. Regardless of whether the headline was correct or misrepresented, gay marriage is wrong. Not that the OP was engaged in flim-flammery. Certain standards should be held to out of respect to the readership. But what can you say about that?
