They define sustaining leadership as doing what it asks. That doesn't mean that you can't disagree, protest or whine like Utenation after yet another close loss to the BYU. Sustaining doesn't connote agree with the decisions but rather to do as they ask -- even if it wars against one's private opinions. Now as for Diamond's opinion on this subject. I think her point is that since none of us really know if society is going to be negatively or positively impacted by the government recognizing homosexual unions to whatever extent, she is going to side with LDS leadership as she believes in their role as watchmen on the watchtowers. As a recovering conservative mormon who it has taken years to deprogram from my epitome of religous zealotry as a missionary, I just like fake boobs and am grateful the Church hasn't come out in opposition. I am worried that one day they might so I keep trying to convince the wife to get the falsies while the getting is still good, or righteous...if ya know what I mean.

I certainly do respect the notion that it is an act of faith and a show of devotion to God to do something that conflicts with ones conscience because it is asked. I also perceive my own weakness because I know in my heart that I would suffer condemnation before I would do some of the things that have been required of others.
