Doing your best to make others obey the law obviously includes notifying police when others are breaking the law. Just telling someone that by being flagrantly homosexual or believing in the wrong things they are persisting in not obeying the law isn't doing your best when a single phone call can bring legal authorities to stop their terrible law breaking.
And GURPS Honest characters explicitly may lie as long as their lies are technically legal. With careful attention to fraud statues where they are, they can absolutely cheat and steal, as long as they take care to do it in jurisdictions without robust business legislation. Nazi judges and jurists at Nuremberg were convicted for passing laws and enforcing them inside Germany. Nothing in the Geneva Conventions or any other international treaty even remotely covered their actions, and, in fact, many of the convictions were based on alleged 'natural law', i.e. retroactively stating that things the victors found immoral were illegal, despite no such criminal statues having existed at the time of the offences. To a GURPS Honest character, their actions were mandatory until the Nuremberg court found differently, at which time they retroactively became forbidden and required him to turn himself in.
