A few months ago I got hung up on reading a comment thread from a letter my cousin had written to the editor of his local rag. The letter was his justification for showing graphic pictures of aborted babies. There were three guys that posed as pro-lifers who were "just outraged at the pictures."
As I read it for a few hours it became obvious that the three main posters had homosexuality of an active kind. All of the posters who were against the graphic pictures at one time or another as much as admitted they had all either had abortions, supported abortion, and that some of them worked for planned parenthood.
I noticed their objection to morals stems from the fact that they feel their positions transcend morality and is just right because they feel it, so it is so and they don't have to explain it... a very convenient position for those who can't explain themselves.
It is and argument from culture, the majority thinks x so x is right, or snob appeal, the elite, or scientists thinks x so
x is right. This has been shortened to "science tells us" which is better on several levels, because it ignores dissenting scientists and elevates science to a god- replacement.
It is a bit ironic that when you boil it all down they are saying that their feelings transcend morality because in reality it is morality that transcends their feelings because morality comes from Transcendent Revelation.
