The attitude "Ok, welcome, you know, whatever" is commonplace for both gays and the divorced and remarried. That's because almost all of us know and/or are closely related to gay and divorced/remarried people. We accept them.
Last year, my wife was "Best Woman" (she refused to be called "Matron of Honor"
at the wedding of a gay couple we have known for years. Our middle son was married, and unfortunately his marriage failed after some years. He refused to get an annulment because he said there was nothing wrong with his marriage at the start, it only fell apart later; and he was not going to lie to make the hierarchs happy. He is remarried to a lovely woman, and they have two children. Heck, that he married a black woman from Jamaica is also now acceptable. (I have mentioned before that I am a direct descendant of William Wilberforce, and I like to think that he would be pleased to know that he has descendants whose ancestors were freed from slavery through his actions.)
In general, the Body of Christ is a lot more tolerant than the hierarchy
