"What’s immoral does not become moral simply by precedent."

I question that statement. What is immoral in a society is whatever the society considers to be immoral. If the society over times begins to accept something once thought to be immoral as moral, then it's no longer immoral. That a precedent has been established suggests that there is, at a minimum, a case to be made that it might be moral, after all. At the very least, there's a difference of opinion on its morality.
