Morality is defined by society.

Wrong. A society is either moral or it is immoral according to Natural Law. It defines nothing on its own.

Moral relativism is the downfall of libertinarian ideology.

On personal, family, and religious issues like this, there will likely never be a public consensus.

Pure poppycock. There used to be a strong public consensus on most moral issues until the crypto-marxists took over the courts in the 1960s. Now we have a gigantic mess. Some of us are trying to contain and turn back the mess. Others like to wallow in the mess just fine and though they claim to be "personally opposed" won't lift a finger to help clean it up.

You can be a moral absolutist, but you can’t expect everybody else to be, not to mention that another moral absolutist may see things differently. In your eyes, by your definition, I suppose that this is an immoral society. Do you really think government is the appropriate tool for changing this?
