Why do theists claim the moral high ground? They don't do what they do because they've considered it and think it's the correct and right course of action, but because they've been bribed and threatened by their religious leaders.
The only true moral stance is that everyone is created equal, and has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Someone else said that. It's nothing to do with the threat of going to hell if you disobey some command.
All discrimation is wrong, whether it's against women, or gays, or blacks, or Jews, or spics, or anyone else. Starting out from that position is a good way to go.
