Name one law, good or bad, that is NOT fundamentally based on a moral principle.

All laws have some kernel of moral basis in them.That is not the issue here.Things deemed immoral,but are still legal,like this convention,shouldnt be a government issue.Society is smart enough to judge for itself what it will tolerate.Try this scenario;gay groups preach tloerance ans acceptance to the point where they have made it a moral issue to discriminate or not to discriminate.Based on that moral stance;what if a liberal legislator was able to successfully introduce legislation that mandates the teaching of homosexuality,and the understanding,tolerance,and accepting and condoning of homosexuality IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS?

Its quite conceivable to me that government legislating of morality can lead to things like the above mentioned scenario.
