So, your personal
policy is to give people impartial information. Pressure groups and political groups promoting different ways of doing things is part of a healthy democracy. The only thing you
can't do is tell people that they have no right to campaign for what they believe in. Why is this issue such a sacred cow that it's not even acceptable to promote a point of view that differs from the majority?

Political will has tried to force itself on moral issues in the past and has repeatedly failed.

Possibly because politicians are not best suited to lead debates on morality. But I think that's for another topic.

I find it offensive that someone should think it is wrong of anyone to want to have sex with whoever they want and whenever they want and that their way is the better way.

You are entitled to your opinion, but it might be helpful to you to bear in mind that the overwhelming majority of the people on this planet follow a religion of one kind or another, and the majority of those religions take attitudes to sex that stop well short of 'whenever, wherever, with whoever'. If you are offended by people who choose to put sex into a moral framework, then you are offended by most of the world's population.

We are not parrots, we are 99% ape and we are not monogamus by instinct. We do have a very well developed brain but I'd rather put it to better use than worrying about the moral issues of sex.

Again, an opinion you're welcome to, as long as you recognise that in global terms most people disagree. Good grief, even atheists generally hold moral issues more highly than this.
