So sad that so many want to be so intolerant, even feel it is their duty to be so.

Not sad. You can not have a person preaching something that in practice do the opposite. Not just homosexuality though and the gays use this as a battle point that they are really not allowed. Adulters, thieves,murderers ect. All would be reasons for removing one from a ministry position. If they want to do these activities then they are the ones that have to answer for them before God, But if the church is going to be as it should a place of God then we cannot have Hypocrites as the leaders. Exactly for such reasons have so many turned away from the church. Because of the Hypocracy.

Many "chrisitan" leaders are hypocrites - at least this guy fessed up! Peodiles, thieves, adulters, wife-beaters, child abusers -these are your leaders who keep (or try to) their secrets just that-all the time presenting their pious faces. These are worse crimes than something which involved consenting people. Address those crimes who have unwilling victims first-address the hypocracy of those transgression rather than wasting time on something of so little importance as compared to the pain a child suffers at the hands of its "chrisitan" parent.
