This was true until about ten years ago. At this stage it's very clear who represents the moral majority - the response to Chick-Fil-A's anti-gay stance is evidence enough of that.

I find liberals tend to be more focused on issues around social equality and justice. I suppose it depends which type of morality you're looking at: secular or non-secular.
"Secular morality" is not a thing. There are various moral theories, and pretty much only divine command is non-secular. What you define as "social equality and justice" isn't really a moral theory at all, but rather a set of political and societal goals.
