"But to go from there to pushing so that society should accept those choices as something good, desirable, digestible and that it is taught to little children, we are not willing to go there."

This patriarchal, heteronormative mindset is all about cultural ideology. As a gay youth in the 80s, there were scant gay role models in society ... even Disney films were ever about the prince and the princess and happily ever after. Perhaps the time has arrived to have the occasional two princes riding off into the sunset, or two princesses. After all, many gay people now aspire to professions other than hairdressing. We've even had gay world leaders: Prime Ministers Jóhanna Sigurdardóttir (Iceland), Elio Di Rupo (Belgium), Xavier Bettel (Luxembourg), and soon Leo Varadkar (Ireland). Very visible role models for today's gay youth.

The hierarchy of Panama might not be willing to go there ... but most ordinary Catholics already have! And gays flourishing is good, desirable and nutritious!
