If by "moral fact" you mean anything factual which is connected with any part of the moral process at all, then I'd say:
1) That's not what people mean when they talk about moral facts.
2) Everything in existence is a moral fact to some degree, as you seem to take it-- that terminology has no value in distinguishing important facts (like the actual source of mores) from unimportant facts (like the fact that gravity undoubtedly is connected to the process of moral thought).
My view is crystal clear: mores are a mediation among feelings, ideas, and the environment, and they are predicated ultimately on feelings. You could call feelings a "moral fact" if you like, but then we just have to find new words to talk about objective mores rather than those that are made up by a subjective agent in accord with how they experience their world.
