There’s no coherent situation in which gay marriage can be both right and wrong
There’s also no coherent situation in which something can be sound and not sound.
You said Craigs theological morality was wrong.
Even worse than wrong (wrong here meaning wrong(Manfred) )! It follows from a probably false premise, and so is undefined when phrased as coming from God.
If reducing and naturalising morality doesn’t allow you to say anybody is right or wrong, what is the point?
If “unheard compression waves” counts as an instance in which something is “sound and not sound”, then gay marriage can equally be “right and wrong” if, e.g., it is prohibited by the Bible but isn’t any obstacle to maximizing net preference satisfaction.
No doubt you want to protest: No, but there really is a single absolute truth about what’s right and what’s wrong, whereas there really isn’t a single absolute truth about what counts as “sound”. Maybe so, but that’s a highly disputable matter and you might do well to offer some actual arguments.

Ending the arguments over this stuff.
Sure there is: unheard compression waves.
Should we end all arguments by giving up on any fact of the matter?
So then let’s do the same for the gay marriage example.
We should end all arguments about subjects where there is no fact of the matter.
I don’t think you can. The different meanings of “sound” are disambiguated by context
OK. Then we just need to have the argument about whether there is a fact of the matter. Oh,,,we are.
Not anymore!
