While I would tentatively agree, I'd also advise strong caution. Some people claim that gay marriage is immoral, and it certainly shouldn't be illegal. The problem with conflating morality and legality is that I've yet to find two people who can agree 100% on morality. So if we ask that our legal system enforce morality, then what we're really asking is for whoever is in charge of said system to enforce their own personal morality, regardless of our feelings about the matter.
True, but the law shout srive to stay as close to morality as possible, most of the time.

Of course, that's what I meant by "most of the time".
