One issue I have to address, especially because it's often quite prevalent, is the conflation of right and wrong with legal and illegal. They are not the same thing as you seem to imply. Many things are not wrong but are illegal in many places, homosexuality is a good example because it's not fully accepted in the American legal system, is illegal in some Middle East and African countries and because it applies to a large number of furs. Since what is legal differs between countries and time means you need to be very clear if you are saying something is right or if it is legal.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
