> Appeal to legality isn't proof of moral superiority.

Then why was it so important for gay marriage to have legal blessing?

> It is also not censorship nor is it illegal to terminate employment with someone based on their political actions.

It is if it becomes the norm (and it has, and it has lead to a Chilling Effect, and the blowback is going to be tremendous).

Because it is currently illegal in many places?

Which is a slippery slope fallacy. Political views are not and have not ever been protected classes.

Are you suggesting that the only reason to legalize something is to get a legal stamp on it being moral? The main reason is to stop discrimination.
