I think a lot of the moral issues have more to do with politico crap than reality.

A tremendous amount of perceived moral decline is just political manipulation.
This isn't to say that there isn't real change that can have a negative impact to a generally agreed to norm. But I think that the base morals of Judeo Christian ethics are pretty stable.
A lot of the ethically challenged behavior that goes on today has been going on for some time, if not forever. It's how the issues are perceived that's in flux.
There's a reference frame to consider as well. I'd put many if not all gay rights issues into this camp.
