This is not a distinction I make but one I respect. If your personal code precludes putting gay and heterosexual marriage on equal footing, this is a distinction with a rational basis grounded in conservative and libertarian values and respect for property interests. Probably the Church won't make this distinction because it would have to concede too much. So it engages in pretzel logic.
