Eating shellfish, wearing gold, men cutting their hair, eating pork, eating any meat with dairy products (among a plethora of other arcane Levitical prohibitions) were all once considered acts contrary to the Divine and natural law by the Holy Roman Catholic Church. While Orthodox Jews, Muslims, and other fundamentalists retain their adherence to Levitical law, the church CHANGED! (horror of horrors) and now allows us to enjoy the delights of raw oysters, cheeseburgers, and pork chops, along with men like me who like to keep their hair neatly trimmed.

The church will one day change its tune on gay issues because all but the Orthodox Jews, Muslims, and other fundamentalists will have moved on, as a great many already have, leaving the Roman Church in the dust clinging to its precious tradition but little else. The church will change, as it always has, or it will die a deserved death of natural causes.
