The real "duty" to be done is the development of one's own moral decision making. Maybe all concerned will learn something this time around.
I agree, but I feel that it is unfair to deny those who have pondered this one and sincerely feel that gay marriage is wrong.

I disagree with them, but I am not ready to say that they have not quite developed their own sense of moral decision making, simply because they have come to a different conclusion than I. Not trying to imply that you are suggesting this, either. Just pointing out that faithful obedience to the Prophet does not necessarily equate to an inability/unwillingness to make one's own decisions.
