There is a difference between defining morality and making it unlawful in that there is a difference between teaching morality and legislating morality.

I never said I was against laws, I said I am against the federal govt legislating in this area as according to the federal constitution, this area is specifically designated to the states where the state constitutions vary on the level of morality in which the people of the states granted to state legislatures. YHVH’s moral instructions (Torah) were not instituted for govt of men, but rather societies of YHVH where morality is taught in the home 1st through the teaching of Moses because homes without Moses know nothing of moral instruction. Oh, Wait! That is the teaching of modern Christendom, that Moses was done away with. And sheeple wonder why the govt is so big... They haven't figured out yet who is really in charge. [Dt 28]

My guess is you haven't spent much time actually studying the US constitution and the limits of the federal govt therein have you?

A clever and classic retort — however does one really think that government needs to be involved in orchestrating every possible moral judgment of mankind?
