Morality is human construct and has evolved and changed within each society. There was a time dating outside of your race was immoral. There was a time sending your kids to school with black children was immoral. There was a time, long ago in other cultures, when it was morally OK for 14 year olds to have sex and procreate.

It's okay to think homosexuality is immoral. Everyone has their own moral code. The morals of a society though are determined by the majority, and right now the prevailing opinion is shifting towards homosexuality being moral.

In some states, maybe.

But, when you have to get morally and intellectually bankrupt judges to invent Constitutional rights out of whole cloth to FORCE your social/political agenda on a people who voted (overwhelmingly in many cases) against your social/political agenda, you can hardly make the case that the "prevailing opinion is shifting towards homosexuality." It's being forced upon people whether they agree with it or not.

You're incorrect in two ways and here's why.

Liberal California voted for that in 2008, and so did red Texas in 2005. From 1998 to 2012—not say, from 1870 to 1890, or some other long-gone time period—34 states voted on defining marriage as being between a man and a woman—and only three voted against it.

And now the will of the people is being struck down by judge after judge.

Numbers like those do not lie, the majority of Americans clearly want marriage to remain between one man and one woman but supporters of the gay agenda are usurping the will of the majority via the courts. So not only are you wrong about the majority being allowed to determine the moral code of society, you're also wrong about the majority shifting towards homosexuality being moral.
