No. This is up to the individual . Laws can not be passed on morality. What may be moral for one person may not be for another. A government that does this is ruled by a church or is a Dictatorship. Laws are made to keep the peace, organize the government and to ensure the safety, health, and protection of the people.

When moving from actions to thoughts or feelings, of course, the question becomes much less easy to answer.
