I'm not sure we're having the same conversation, but yes, I am in favor of people voting for laws that reflect their morality, even when it differs from mine.
Personally, I think laws that prohibit sexual acts between consenting adults are stupid, and laws that protect people from discrimination are smart. But the specific laws I was speaking of when I posted last are the ones that protect children from being sexually interfered with and from being held legally accountable for signing a contract. There is much value in enforcing my morality (and, apparently, the majority of people in my state's morality) by upholding such laws, in my view.
