Are these cultures using morality to justify their reason, their religion, or their laws?

These cultures have absolutely no bearing on American law, nor a significant effect on the American response to laws attempting to legalize marriage for homosexuals.
It's totally irrelevant, and it's 100% a strawman - my argument does not apply anywhere except within the context of the American system of law.
If the United States were ruled by a junta or were a theocracy, obviously one moral authority could rule without any exception. Thankfully, it's not, so your examples are laughably irrelevant.
