Setting your own moral standards is always fine. Forcing others to live by them without giving them a choice, is not.
What are laws but the imposition of moral standards? You are forced to obey the laws, aren't you, as long as they are legitimately enacted in a democratic society. Do you want to argue that anarchy is better?
