Cultural (moral) relativity doesn't work whatever ethical principles you have. It only works if you don't have any or that is it.

I think I disagree. Morality of actions depends on descriptions of them, which are typically context-dependent.

No, it doesn't. Whether you call throwing a gay man off a roof 'hatred & murder' or 'mercy & justice' the wrongness does not change

What if the person throwing him off the roof is a child? There is implicit context. And there are plenty of examples that do translate well

Then that would still be the same whichever cultural context it occurred in.
