I think it is fine to be rigid and inflexible on moral issues personally. But I think it is wrong to use the machinery of the state to interfere in the personal morality of others except on a limited basis. I don't think it is necessary to respect all differences- I don't, for example, respect child molesters. I don't think they've made a moral choice I can embrace. Adultery, though not as bad as molestation, is right up there for me. But I would not use the machinery of the State to prevent it, either. You can't expect everyone to live by your personal morality anymore than I can expect you to live by mine.
