Saved 36yr, & studied that long.I am 1st a Bible Teacher & Pastor. I represented layman & Clergy at confrences in the United Methodist Church. After a disagreement with them over Ordination of Practicing homosexuals & lesbians, I went the way my conscience dictated and severed myself from their denomination. I felt and still do that you can't Sanctify sodomy, no matter what you wish to call it. I practiced being celibate when my wife passed away till I remarried. If gays wish to be ministers, then let them be celibate, as God requires of all His followers, straight or gay. They want to minister & yet continue to live in open sexual practices with members of the same gender. What message does this send to the congregations, only that, "Sexual sins are to be overlooked." I don't see it that way, and until God gives a "New Revelation" on this subject, to all believers at the same time, I'll just keep my "Old Fogey" ideas & keep on Preaching.
