I don't think that a good analogy. i've never heard of a carnivore who thought meat eating was morally better. Their argument is that meat eating is not so much worse that it becomes an ethical no-no, rather than a ethically neutral lifestyle choice. (Morally level ground).
People can even carry on doing something they think is morally wrong on the excuse of akrasia.
And gay marriage is becoming slowly accepted.
By sheerest coincidence, I just tabbed over from precisely that argument offsite. The arguments in favor of meat-eating struck me as rather confused (an odd quasi-Nietzschean will-to-power thing mixed with biological determinism, as best I can tell), but they were moral arguments and they were in favor of carnivory.
I'd expect that sort of thing to be rather rare, though. The mainstream position does seem to be that it simply isn't a moral issue.
