Morals are subjective and individual. How they feel about same-sex couples is their choice, but where it becomes immoral is when their morals are forced onto others and this is obviously where the concern of the authorities is.
No one has a right to force their own moral values onto others and unfortunately this is what religion does and regards their church as having a monopoly on moral standards.
Fortunately, even the attitudes of churches and religions become outmoded and unacceptable as laws(as opposed to individual morals) change to reflect the general attitude of society. So let's hope, in the future, that same-sex couples and marriage will be broadly accepted as being acceptable and "normal".
There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.
