So today, the social moral framework around homosexuality is shifting. The religious moral framework is shifting in some religions, and not in others. So you have the tension that people and communities whose moral framework has shifted are assessing "anti-gay" statements and actions (e.g., prohibitions against gay marriage) as "morally wrong," but for the religions that have NOT (yet?) shifted, they are assessing the institution of gay marriage as a moral evil. This is because each side is assessing it from the context of their subjective moral framework. Within those frameworks, both are "correct" even though they have opposing views on morality, so each decries the other side.
