This is not how the law works (or should work). For example, cutting in line is not illegal, despite the fact that people almost universally disagree with it. This isn't a failure of our political system: the social pressure to follow the norm works great, and we don't think people deserve to be put in jail for it.
Law is a tool to enforce societal norms — but it's not the only one, nor is it necessarily the best one.
