Growing up in a traditional Catholic culture it has taken many years to separate out my emotionally formed and informed resistance to just about everything and anything same-sex.  There is still an element of "work in progress" but I have been assisted greatly by the few same-sex couples I have met.  
It has become increasingly discouraging to see how a tradition of acumen such as the Roman Catholic Church could hold - and even worse, foist upon it own and in the public square  - such a static and absolutist concept of "natural law" - in a creation that is sustained by change itself. Of course, the "conservatism" that preserves knowledge and wisdom is to be treasured but lived within an evolution that preserves value within change. 
It seem axiomatic that challenges to stasis would give rise to reflection upon "higher principles" that guide consideration. Our "institution" seems to have chosen the lower. We 'sheep' increasingly the higher, in spite of resistance: leadership welcomed.
