Morality is for the individual to decide upon and live according to. The role of government is, imo, to protect citizens from harm. Outlawing murder is, in a sense, legislating morality, but murder is the greatest form of harm to another, so the government has a duty to protect us from it.

 

Things like outlawing marijuana, forbidding gay couples from adopting and, well, other topics that I know better than to get into, fall outside of the window that government noses belong in, and should be left up to individual citizens to decide upon for themselves.
