As a society we may not always agree with each other, but we do agree on a minimum standard of behavior. An acceptable way to behave if you will that everyone more or less agrees on or at least tolerates. Governments role is to protect our society not to impose its own standard nor is it the government’s job to legislate our society’s morality and values. A government that tries to legislate morality and values is trampling on the rights of the individual, and society is nothing more than a group of individuals banding together.
