One of the lessons from the Blacks and Priesthood thing is that it took A LONG TIME for the church leadership to be united in rolling back the ban. It was like a 20 year process. People had to die first.
That's one of the problems with having a system that requires a unanimous vote among 15 persons. 15 persons have to feel like they are inspired to do the same thing.
For those of us that wish there was some path forward for gay Mormons, it's disheartening to read that the unanimity actually went the other way. not a single apostle did not agree with banning children of gay parents and excommunicating married gays.
