Christian Opposition to Marriage Equality and Chesterton‘s Fence

The CRCNA has now developed a long history of trying to develop Synodical statements on "pastoral care to homosexuals." To get a list of the discussion you can find it here. https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/position-statements/homosexuality

In many ways its been a conversation that has made few people happy. Many conversations focus on the Bible which is very Protestant of us, but that often results on many trying to interpret the Bible in context by getting behind the Bible historically. One question I never hear asked is why did stigma about same sex behavior develop in the first place? 

GK Chesterton used an analogy that if you find a fence and it isn't immediately obvious why the fence maker put the fence where he or she did, you might want to find that answer before you remove the fence. It might be helpful to ask "why did stigma about same sex sexuality develop in the first place?"
