Come on, SC2 isn't THAT revolutionary. This is a bit strained.

I don't even understand in what sense it's the sort of thing that could provoke cognitive dissonance. What aspect of it will conflict with native cultural influences?

Well... let's say your mother wants you to marry a person of the same religious and ethnic group as you belong to, and thinks homosexuals are immoral. You have a lot of love and affection for your mother, but you have gotten a lot of new information about the world, which makes religions seem primitive, and makes you think that there is nothing immoral about being homosexual.
You don't want to disrespect your mother, so you try to please her by marring a person of the opposite sex from the same religious and ethnic group, even though you are homosexual, don't believe in her religion, and feel more attracted to other ethnic groups.
