Law is rooted in religion, therefore, there is a moral aspect to law. Since there is no higher law than God's, All Societies throughout history have had laws that govern society as a means of restraining evil and bringing about justice, peace and order, I.E. an objective moral truth. (Rom. 13:1-7).
Medicine and Science also must rely on an objective moral standard, otherwise there would be no ethics to govern what they should do or not do.
Homosexuality has been around for a long time! So what? So has religion. Ask a Baboon how he feels about his homosexuality, and I bet he would not understand a word of it or know what that is. Scientists should be really careful in trying to ascribe human moral imperatives to the animal kingdom. I.E. the animal kingdom has nothing to teach us about morality!!!

Since there's not many baboons around, we make do with the nearest approximation many of us will find - a right-wing fundamentalist. Accomplishes about the same thing, though I think the baboon would be the more pleasant company personally.

...then, via Romans 13:1-5, Lawrence vs. Texas & Obergefell vs. Hodges has raped your 'Opinion' to death.
As do the opinions - on the US Constitution - of the SCOTUS. I refer you to the latter by them: on a certain 26th June...!
Animal societies have their own codes of morality, yet I've seen no evidence that they have a deity.
"Law is rooted in religion." "There is no higher law than god's".
I see we are having bullshit on toast for lunch, again. Might I suggest that it's far more likely that religion is rooted in law rather than the reverse? If god had the only laws that mattered, there would be no need for all you millions of toadies to try to do the job for him.
Medicine has its own situational ethics; case in point, triage.

Ahem! Big Pharma.

Oh, OK, then...how do you feel about your homosexuality, meansane?
"Medicine and Science also must rely on an objective moral standard..."
No, they rely upon an agreed upon subjective standard which can and has changed over time.
Sure they do, and most laws are only considered crimes if they hurt others. Sex does not hurt anyone else, if it is between consenting adults in private.
Also, I won't compare you to a baboon, because that would be cruelty to animals. They at least know how to use their brains, most animals use their instincts as well, which makes them a lot less dumb than fundies.
“Law is rooted in religion, therefore, there is a moral aspect to law.”
"Since there is no higher law than God's, All Societies throughout history have had laws that govern society as a means of restraining evil and bringing about justice, peace and order, I.E. an objective moral truth.”
"otherwise there would be no ethics to govern what they should do or not do.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
