Considered in general terms, the question of legislating morality (that is, can one legislate it) is a definitive "yes." Indeed, it is generally impossible to avoid legislating morality, since every law is a commitment to there being right and wrong actions, with certain actions specified as right or wrong by each law that is passed. When moving from actions to thoughts or feelings, of course, the question becomes much less easy to answer.
