I disagree. I find a difference between having a personal sense of morality, and imposing that morality on others. Yes, as a rational thinking adult with clearly defined moral values I make judgements. I decide with whom I associate and do business - I also choose the specific means in which I do these things. BUT, just because I have my own sense of values doesn't mean I won't allow other rational, thinking adults to make their own judgements.
I think Far-L was touching on this earlier:
